Road Kill Bill



Out-of-season road kill
(Springfield, Illinois) Illinois lawmakers have passed a bill which allows citizens to pick up road kill.

Under the bill, people with proper permits could retrieve certain in-season, furry mammals killed by motorists.

People could do whatever they please with the carcasses, whether it's skin them for their hides or add them to a rustic stew.

Road kill permits? In-season road kill?

Wow! It's surprisingly logical to imagine that people will soon be prosecuted for poaching out-of-season road kill -- by the Road Kill Police -- from the Department of Road Kill Regulation.

Leave it to the government to put unnecessary stink on road kill.
