Roadkill Raccoon

When you've broken your leg there aren't many things that will coax you from your car to hobble down the road. But when 15-year-old Danielle Sauve cruised past this dead raccoon, plastered to a Minnesota roadside, she couldn't resist snapping a photograph. The slain animal met its unfortunate end when a highway painting truck crew failed to spot it and drove their truck over its body, dousing it with white emulsion.

I can’t believe that girl is standing there looking at it. Hope for her sake it was a fresh kill. Oh the stench.

you know the striping crew knew they did it

If Larry & Darryls) had seen it, it would have made the lunch menu at the Minuteman Cafe.

“For somebody to leave an animal lay like that and not move it over … we have to have some sensitivity in this world.”

It's amazing how so many people are insulated from the realities of nature. I once dated a woman who thought dead animals in the woods were disposed of by city workers and refused to believe me when I told her that most of them were eaten by other critters.

That would have been a good job for someone on a road crew with a pickup and flashing lights, she said. <<

Don't worry Honey!...Under Obamas stimulus plan they'll be 10,000 trucks and 30,000 "diverse" union workers (3 per truck)....ALL SHOVEL READY!

“There’s Room For All Of God’s Creatures... Right Next To The Mashed Potatos.”

Seriously though, one would think people could find something in this crazy, mixed up world that’s important enough to worry about.

If roadkill bothers this chick that bad, she can take her happy ass out there and dispose of it.

I saw a similarly painted roadkill possum on US-62 just west of Bardstown last week. Unfortunately, there weren’t any good places to pull over and traffic was pretty heavy, so I had to pass on taking a picture.

“Not in my job description.” - Every (union) worker polled about why they didn’t move the carcass prior to striping.

Crossin' the highway late last night
He shoulda looked left and he shoulda looked right
He didn't see the station-wagon car
The skunk got squashed and - there you are...

You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin' to high heaven.

Removing dead animals isn’t the job of striping crews, it’s a sanitation job. Union work rules must be obeyed.
