I know some people who shoot and hunt their own venison. Some people moved over to butcher shops. But no one is finding roadkill and saying "oh man, I gotta get in on that"

[–] Fondots@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

It's actually not terribly uncommon for people to take roadkill if it's fresh and in decent shape.

In my state (PA) you're supposed to report it to the game commission within 24 hours, and you're supposed to surrender the hide and antlers to them unless you pay for a separate permit.

Fun fact, there was enough public outcry in '16 for the state of Washington to amend it's laws and make it legal to harvest roadkill for food.

Of all the states, I wasn't expecting Washington.

Alabama? Sure.

Mississippi? I can see that.

Georgia? Yeah, ok.

Washington? Of all the states, WASHINGTON??? Oh god damn....

I mean if you hit a deer with your car, why let all that venison go?

[–] faythofdragons@slrpnk.net 1 points 5 hours ago

Oregon also has roadkill salvage permits available!

When I was a kid I visited my cousin in backwoods Missouri, and we heard on the radio that there was an uptick in leprosy because of people eating roadkill armadillo. It was a real wtf moment in my life

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Shit. Is there a certain kind of roadkill that's safer to eat?

[–] altkey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 56 minutes ago

Comparatively, carnivores are riskier, as they continuously collect parasites from the animals they eat, especially if they eat them not freshly killed.

[–] mr_account@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

Don't know, and don't care to find out. I only visited the backwoods, I certainly don't live there

Gotta make fresh roadkill, then it's edible sure.
