news 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?




These people have the right answer to Road Kill

Here in Pa, it's legal to pick up road kill and take it home-wasn't always
like that.
