We have several, and I hope it doesn't increase, coyotes in the area plus dogs and cats that ours and our neighbors. Why leave something to stink up the woods and attract unnecessary attention from other animals when you don't have to? I know the nature part of everything, and it'll dissappear on it's own almost overnight. But, the coyotes, wild dogs, pet dogs and hunting dogs tend to keep away so I see no reason to have them around waiting on a meal.
