Scholastic News: Roadkill for Dinner

            This article is about a new law in Montana that states that people are allowed to eat roadkill they find on the highways. Personally, I feel that this law is cruel and wrong. I think this because they should just install bars on the highway that deer and other animals can't jump over. Many animals like deer

           Every year over 2 million animals are killed on the highway. These animals include elk, deer, cats, moose, and in some areas, antelope. This happens in many states that have road crossings, major highways, interstates, and rural areas. In states like Arizona, New Jersey, and Montana, people are allowed to eat any animal they find dead on the road. All they have to do is pick them up and cook them.

            **This Paragraph is My opinion**
           I think this law is nasty and disgusting. If you find dead roadkill, you should just leave it there for bugs to eat it, its part of the lie cycle. We're sure as heck not bugs, so leave it to them. Also, eating dead animals on the side of the road, rotted, and dirty, that's unsanitary. To prevent this should add gates to the sides of these roads so that no animals can go on the road. Or, lower the speed limits so if the animal gets hit at a lower speed, they can have a chance to live. And, they won't damage their car as much.
