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.

If a parsley farmer is sued, can they garnish his wages?

Apparently, that part of the country is lacking in native insects that eat
roadkill to any great extent. Roadkill generally does not exist on the
traveled part of the road.

Profound is we're here due to a chance arrangement
of chemicals in the ocean billions of years ago.
More profound is we made it to the top of the food
chain per our reasoning abilities.
Most profound is the denial of why we may
be on the way out.
