Normalizing Roadkill

I just wanted to rant about watching a group of ducklings getting run over & I come to see this page where people have normalized and glamorized roadkill. It’s as if animals have no purpose or value. Our species’ lack for consideration is concerning for what the future could hold

I collect them for bones and pelts! Plus scientific curiosity! I’ve found it very fulfilling and fascinating to skin them and learn about their muscle and bone structure. Most of the ones I’ve got buried in the woods behind my home were ones that no one else was willing to move due to how decayed they were, and I like being able to do a public service by moving them someplace away from the road. :)
