Workmen painting white lines on a road left a gap for a dead badger because they said it was not their responsibility to move it.
The animal had been killed about a week before on the A338 near Downton, on the Hampshire-Wiltshire border.
Hampshire County Council said the workers did what they thought "was best" because it is the district council's job to remove carcasses.

“sub-contractor Bellstan were not “licensed or trained” to remove road kill.”

I wonder how many annual hours of continued education and examination are required to secure Road Kill Removal licensure.

It’s one of those closed jobs requiring connections.

Mel Kendal, county council environment chief, said: "We would usually liaise with our colleagues at the district council who dispose of animal carcasses on the highways to ensure the badger was removed before the white line painting crew did this stretch of road.Perhaps you should liaise with the badger. You know, badger the badger.

Mean to say they didn’t have a shovel in their truck where they could remove the dead animal from the road and at least put it in the grass on the side of the road? That sounds like just a nice thing to do. But then again....

Looks like one of Barry’s Recovery and Reinvestment “stimulus” putting America back to work jobs.

Council contractor Amey said the staff from sub-contractor Bellstan were not "licensed or trained" to remove road kill.
My dog is capable of doing that.
