All I've seen in person are dead squirrels, turtles, birds, possums, and tons of insects.

And I've also never seen a skunk in person.

 

[Austin]

I don't see dead animals often. Which is good, because I have an extreme fear of dead things, lol.

 

[Rainbow Arcanine]

I hate dead animals. :(

I don't mind squishing insects but seeing poor animals getting run over or beaten is really sad. D:

And I was also expecting a frozen cat in that spoiler :x, I was about to half cover my eyes haha but it is definitely sad what happens to some animals. It is good you don't see dead animals often, I think the last one I saw was a year ago thankfully.

 

[Synerjee]

Curiouser and curiouser~ I haven't seen any dead carcasses of animals lying about the place in my country since forever and I always wonder why. Animals die everyday right? It's so very curious why I don't see a single one of those bodies anywhere. Ninja road sweepers, perhaps? *laughs* xD

 

[Correspondence]

Why is the DCC filled with weird topic these days?

 

[NurseBarbra]

(The first thing i see when i come here is a post about a dead cat -_-)

Ninja road sweepers most likely isn't the cause. Rats, birds and most other animals will be quick to scavenge carcasses for food during the night/early morning. In fact near my house are several fox burrows who are very docile, but whenever there's a dead bird you can be sure it's gone within an hour.

 

[Rainbow Arcanine]

Basically the above explanation :3. Animals will probably pick up the carcass and you know, eat it. Although people might clean them off the road. And yeah the DCC topics can get pretty weird but it's all part of the fun! :3.

 

[Austin]

Luckily, I don't see the animals actually EAT the carcass, because that would be even worse than just seeing the carcass alone.
*shiver*

 

[Seki]

I seen birds and cats that were ran down by cars. It happens frequently, like once every month I will see one such incident.

 

[Starry Windy]

I remember years ago when a bird ran down by my car in accident... It's sad to see that.

 

[Austin]

I'm too squeamish about those types of things. I was in a parade one time with my marching band, and in the middle of the parade route was a completely flattened cat. We couldn't break our formation, so we had to march through it.
Oh god, that was a terrible, terrible day...

 

[Austin]

I teared up when I saw the cat. And I couldn't play my instrument for the rest of the parade. And I FREAKED out when there was cat hair on the bottom of my shoe when the parade was over.
I get SOOO sad about dead animals :(

 

[Kura]

I must be weird that im notbothered by that or roadkill. I saw a dead dude on the side of the road once, and that wasnt pretty..

 

[Nathan]

Usually i am sad when i see dead animals being mistreated. It could have been any of us.
Where is everyone btw?

 

[Mark Kamill]

Home obviously, using the internet like I always am. Also have seen a good amount of street cats poisoned and left dead on the side of the road to not be squeamish anymore.Maybe if a car ran over it and the dissolved insides were gushing out, but that's about it. Sorry for the gore.

 

[Kura]

I dont mind that either.. they're dead anyways... i would just hope their carcass be put to good use either by food for bugs or fodder for trees.i had a teacher who would collect carcasses, clean them, and use the bones as studies for his classes. Lifedrawing teacher.

 

[Nothing Is Real]

I saw a budgie get hit by a car once. It just sort of hopped along the road, and the next thing you know it was run over (the car wasn't even moving that fast). I hate seeing death happen like that, especially when you know it's probably someone else's pet. Seeing a dead squirrel or hedgehog on the side of the road always makes me gag, too.

 

[Nathan]

I always hated bones. I just don't know why. Maybe i watched too much horror movies when i was young.

 

[Sableye~]

Dead stuff doesn't bother me. Even people.

However, I will be bothered if it's not completely dead- like that roadkill opossum that was in front of my house a while ago. I just felt bad for the poor little dude. I was standing a maybe 2ish carlengths away and I could still hear him trying to breathe.

 

[Nathan]

I may sound a little noobish but what is exactly an opossum?
I'm still learning English so i don't know that word.
