I find it totally unacceptable that ATC will order a G/A due to a dead bird/bunny on the runway. They should advise and let the crew make their own decision.
As mentioned up-thread it aint that simple.

What if the bunny corpse bounces off the nose wheel and gets sucked into an engine or the bird has flockmates swirling around the touch down zone?
