When it comes to road kill, and what happens to it, I've always had mixed feelings. I know people who take it home to their freezers and then create things out of it. In some ways I guess it could be considered "recycling" and that the animal "lives" in the parts that are used. My conflict is whether we honor the animal's life by using it in what we wear, or in art work produced. Have we lost our sense of recognizing that the animals have a spirit and an identity. Also, animal lives were lost because of the transportation technology that is frequently used recklessly.
I also do know some people who remove road kill and lay these animals to rest. I appreciate their thoughtfulness.
