Who cleans up roadkill?

well around here it seems that nobody does because eventually the roadkill turns into a rotting carcus which eventually just kinda.. fades away.

I worked for the PA state turnpike one summer in college. I was on the maintenance crew and we picked up all the dead animals. We'd usually have a pair of carcass gloves (blood soaked) on our person at all times. The road kill was usually dropped off at a special rot zone, basically a pile of dead animals in the woods.
The funnest part was getting the dead animals off the center median area. It was like a game of frogger except while dragging several hundred pounds of dead deer. 🙂

It is now legal in the state of Colorado to remove undomesticated animals from any public roadway, without the notification of the Division of Wildlife.
These animals may be used for human consumption if properly processed, however the authorities warn that any use of the animal carcass for religious rituals or unnatural sexual pleasure is strictly forbidden.

I remember a large dog that was hit on a road I took to go to work and class everyday. The carcass was at the end of a small bridge near some weeds. I literally saw the thing decomposing over the period of several months and it was pretty disgusting. It was one of those situations you don't want to look but most times when I drove by I had to steal a glance over that way.

If it's cold outside, and the carcass is still warm, and if rigor mortus hasn't set in (so I know it's a fresh kill), then
I clean up road kill.
(provided it's a deer that isn't mangled)
Most of the guys I work with have eaten venison that came from road kill (I do the butchering) - none of them have a problem with it. It's no different than killing cattle with a sledge hammer. So a car did the job instead of the sledge hammer. I throw away any bruised meat - the rest is exactly the same as if I had shot the deer myself. 2 roadkills + 1 shot = 3 deer in my freezer (and one of the roadkills was a bambi... the meat was soooo tender MMMMMmmmmmmmm
