You have a loving heart! I have always done this myself when I see animals that have been hit by cars here in Texas. I also stop when I see a turtle trying to cross and get it to the other side. It’s not difficult to show compassion for all creatures on our planet. I wish more people would care.

Had a "Goodyear"!!

Found a large Mantis (as in, praying) in the middle of some public stairs today; no doubt it would soon have been crushed like a dry leaf.. With gloves on, I took it to safety … as it used it’s substantial mandibles attempting to bite me!

Safe on a bush, it recoiled back, as if it were praying. I breathed on it, to let it know ‘a human’ had saved it, and it relaxed. Felt good

So many animals eat carrion...why deprive them of a meal?

Around here the Highway Dept removes & cremates them. I believe a lot of states do this.

Those leaves were innocent man...

Sanity ain't all it is cracked up to be....

I remove the carcasses lest scavengers also succumb to the roadsters. I also help turtles cross the road. Opossums have babies in their pouch. Then there are the parentless ducklings. Keep it up people.

Reminds me of a joke. On the East Coast when you are driving along the roadway, there are always rest stops that you can pull into and order a fast meal. On the West coast, you rarely see them. Why is that?
Because on the West Coast, there are vultures to take care of the road kill.

Well done. I think you made the world just a bit of a nicer place by doing this.

I always hope that crows will scavenge urban road kill, but I'm not sure they are able to take advantage of it very often.

On the very rare occasion I wind up with a biological speed bump in front of my house I pick it up and bury it also. If it brings you contentment all well and good.

Nice job

Nothing bothers me more than driving down the highway and seeing a dead animal that might have been run over a thousand times. Even if it is deer size you often do not know if it is a deer or a dead dog. If reincarnation is real this dead animals must come back to gain revenge. Also, if you are reincarnated it must mean you were incarnated at least once before.

No worse than the somewhat overweight woman removing her shirt in the middle of the night after blocking the only road out of the cinema I had been at, while picking up a dead possum and detaching her baby from her. The shirt was to wrap the baby in so he/she was comfy on the way home and not running freaking out in my car. They also had to wait until I had placed her safely away from the road while telling her I would look after her baby, and trying to convince the baby that he/she needed to let go. A few cars beeped me I stopped and stared at them while cuddling the baby. They stayed quiet after that. Good thing I wore a good bra to the cinema that night. I have stopped in traffic to help animals many times people can just learn to go around me or wait.

Move it to the nearest anthill for quickest decomposition.

That's sweet, but where I live, it'd be a full-time job!

You're awesome

Ahh the pungent effervessence
Of floppy flippers fried
And steaming on hot asphalt
In hundred degree heat
Putrescent possum
Reeking raccoon
Stinking squirrel
None for me
No thanks!

in many states like Kansas, Arkansas, etc. people eat roadkill, why?

May I ask where the thought 'every life has a purpose' came from?

. . . you can feel it in your olfactory
