Good point.
We ran a raptor rehab center here at the lab for years, and I was 
always on the lookout for roadkill squirrels, rabbits, and even small 
opossums, to be fed to the birds.  Stopping to pick up roadkill 
critters mortified my kids even more than my leaf-hauling forays 
throughout the fall.
