As a dude living in the beauty of nature, Knuckles is probably no stranger to death. What do you think he does when he sees a critter die on Angel Island?
Give them a proper respectful burial. He'd be used to it after so many years, but he was probably utterly devastated when it first happened. The animals were his only friends and company, the first deaths must've been really painful for him. But he'd learn to understand that there's nothing he can do about it, it's just how the world works. So he takes extra care to give them all the best lives they can live, and lays them to rest when their time comes.
