I don't think that was the case here



I think someone was trying to draw attention to "dead squirrels" by punishing pedestrians with their presence.

It is illegal to obstruct sidewalks and you can see from the photo placing roadkill on the sw would obstruct it.

We don't have too many vultures gathering on our streets. Vultures usually don't bother with dead squirrels.
Generally a dead dog or cat is moved to the curb to be ID'd.

Vultures are rarely hit here because the traffic is too slow and vultures quite large.
We don't have eagles.


It was just someone drawing attention to the plight of "runover" squirrels. (It was probably one of the local kooks who think they're saving the world by feeding racoons and possums...grhh...wildlife should remain wild, not spoonfed by people)

I walk at night and every night, I had to watch my step.
It occurred for several months, then stopped.
