Today's news reports several NY counties are putting roadkill deer in
their compost piles. Seems very strange to me.

More than I ever wanted to know. Says they use the compost on the highway
right-of-way where there is low pet and human contact. How comforting!
Sounds like a lot of "low possiblity", "most of", and "unlikely"
situations. Maybe in the long run it is for the better as the landfill is
the alternative. I know I don't want it in my yard.
I'm confused about the "may contaminate water" concern. I can see how 50
dead bodies on top of each other might be a problem, but where do these
people think wild animals go when they die?
Scavengers take care of dead animals in the wild. What did you think?
