Well typically not, you are correct, but he was a little too ripe for dinner. Besides, I already had some ham and cabbage boiling on the stove.

Seriously, you don't add dead animals to your dirt or mulch? I have a dirt pile out back where the dead 'uns go (not the cats though). It's also the burn pile, so when I dig everything up, it gets mixed in nicely. Add some sawdust from the table saw in the shop, and I have a nice tree/plant mix. If I'm planting nanners, I add Stall-Dri and I'm good to go.

Nope. Hubby once had to deal with a dead fawn on a vacant lot we had. We're in town. He called the city, fish and wildlife etc. and they told him to put it into the garbage can. That garbage can NEVER recovered from the few days of rotting fawn. Fortunately, it's basically a rented can so when we sold the lot the can went back to the disposal company.

Lol!

Well, I'm town as well. They have a strict policy on not putting dead animals in the trash. What then, are we to do with the "casualties"?

On a very serious note, two years ago, I shot and killed a rabid raccoon in my neighbors yard, as it angrily yelled and charged at me. I happened to be on the phone with 911 at the time and was in the process of being transferred over to Animal Control when I shot it. Once they came on, I identified myself in an official capacity and they said someone would come out.

Two and a half DAYS later, Dead Animal Pickup came out. I was incensed. For all of this time, any cat, dog, raccoon, possum or CHILD could have come into contact with it! I fired off an angry text to my ex-wife, who happens to dispatch for same said city, and she told me that protocol dictated that as soon as I killed the coon, Animal Control was no longer in charge! It became a roadkill issue!

This is where personal actions sometimes become more important than bureaucratic BS. The Constabulary was enacted in this country to assist us in enforcing the law; not the other way around. Most people have forgotten that. Once in a while, cases like yours and mine remind us that we probably know more about our situations than the pencil necks who would recoil at the sight of a maggot-infested possum, could ever envision.
