We actually do. Most large roadkill, if fresh, are often granted to locals. As long as the animal died of the accident, it is as safe to eat as a conventionally harvested one. More common in colder areas for obvious reasons, but I saw it down south too.
- jessaustin 9y agoI'm sure this happens somewhere, but there are other places where it would be a scandal. I harvested a roadkill turkey one time but only because I saw the van in front of me hit it. After it's on the ground, it's carrion. It's worth remembering that horses dying of trauma on the street was much less common before widespread automobile adoption. A horse that died on the street in 1900 probably had a number of health issues that would have made consumption more risky. Also it probably had no meat left to speak of. One would have had to just boil everything, to have anything to eat.
