Not new, the cops in Glendale, CA back in the 50s even, used to call a friend of mine anytime a deer got hit to come out and get it.

He’d would dress it out on the spot and take it to a “friendly butcher” that would make it into sausage and he would split it with the cops.

we have a legit "roadkill" group here where I live....but they changed the name to the nicer sounding "road recovery" or some such....

it is against the law to take the meat from an animal that you find or that you hit....silly because once a great big moose was hit and this young guy wanted the meat so bad and he had to wait so long for the authority that it spoiled...

the "roadkill" group gives all the meat they harvest to the local mission....they can't keep anything not even the hide...

and btw, its a work of good will.....these guys do it voluntarily....

"And in Canada designer Amy Nugent has taken things a step further, "harvesting" highway hits from bears and moose (what you might call megafauna) through to porcupines to fashion a celebrated jewellery range (www.roadquill.ca) that includes bracelets and tie slides."

My brain works differently. You see, if you come across a roadkill, there may not be time to waste.

If it is on the verge of spoiling, then you better be prepared to cook it on the spot. Saves on the ptomaine poisoning, etc.

I always carry a roll of heavy duty foil and a package of ........

Yes. I have every reason to think it is real.

The competition out here is fierce.....

Pigs eat roadkill on the A27 motorway, in Sussex, after escaping from their pen

I showed my teen sons this pic and they started singing the badger, badger, badger song. Have you heard it?

Remeber the song, “Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road”?

Crossin’ the highway late last night
He shoulda looked left and he shoulda looked right
He didn’t see the station wagon car
The skunk got squashed and there you are!

You got yer
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin’ to high Heaven!

Take a whiff on me, that ain’t no rose!
Roll up yer window and hold yer nose
You don’t have to look and you don’t have to see
‘Cause you can feel it in your olfactory

You got yer
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin’ to high Heaven!

Yeah you got yer dead cat and you got yer dead dog
On a moonlight night you got yer dead toad frog
Got yer dead rabbit and yer dead raccoon
The blood and the guts they’re gonna make you swoon!
You got yer
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin’ to high Heaven!

C’mon stink!

You got it!
It’s dead, it’s in the middle
Dead skunk in the middle!
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin’ to high heaven!
All over the road, technicolor man!
Oh, you got pollution
It’s dead, it’s in the middle
And it’s stinkin’ to high, high Heaven
