*Warning: This post contains images of roadkill.*
This is a common occurrence where I reside. In one week’s time, I found two dead animals on the roadside in my neighborhood. The first, Mr. RIP Armadillo, attracted flies and the attention of neighborhood dogs for five or six days. I kept Lily White away from the corpse because these critters can carry leprosy.
The next beast was only present one day. I think a strong rainfall washed it down the gutter. This tiny snake made me hurt myself because I wasn’t sure it was dead at first. In the days following this sighting, every stick I saw wiggled and made me think a snake was coming after me.
Is roadkill something you see often in your neck of the woods?
yes, more often that not cowards will accelerate and run them over intentionally
That’s awful. Thankfully, I’ve never seen that happen. That’d make me shake a fist or something.
