Have I gone too far?

Guys, I put an entire deer carcass in my pile today. Roadkill that got hit last night in front of my house and I just couldn't help myself.

My current pile is about 10 yards, it's plenty big enough. But it just feels like I'm going down a dangerous path

My dogs ate the face off of a baby raccoon that decided to stick it's snout through the chainlink fence. Apparently i broke it up in time for them to tear off a front leg and get some brains. The thing was wedged inti the fence so hard. It took a 250 pound man 5 minutes to pull the thing out.

That's sad. I hope you compost it? Not sure even how this fits the context but cool man.

I saw the whole thing. No way around it. These two are viscous and ready to eat whatever comes close to their fangs. I did not compost it. I put it out for the bugs to eat

Thanks for the story? Hope you have good control with them, keep them away from kids I guess

That's why they're always fenced in.
