Blessed Oil

[Jacafamala]

I have about a quart sized jar that's on the verge of turning rancid.

What's the best way to dispose of it?

I know pouring it on the ground outside is probably the best, but more specifically is there something I could do to keep the critters from getting into it?

Thanks for your considerations, folks!

I would dig a smallish hole, not super deep, pour it in and fill the dirt back in after the ground has absorbed the oil. Animals wouldn't be interested in almost-rancid oil I shouldn't think (unless you meant dogs, they like all sorts of stuff).
