Who to Call to Pick Up Roadkill

Due to the rapidly increasing population which causes an increase in traffic, the number of cases reported for animal injuries due to road accidents has also increased. Animals killed by the motor-vehicles on the roads are known as road kills. Some of these animals are killed so harshly, but some of them with minor injuries are used as a meal by some people. In states with weak authorities or services providers, these road kills are never taken to any veterinary hospitals or disposal centers, their disposal methods include being eaten by other animals, or being decomposed.

Wild-life Vehicle Collision (WVC):

Many departments are conducting detailed researches about wild-life vehicle collisions due to increased cases of road accidents causing harm to the animals. They have been searching for the reasons behind this increase and finding out the ways to control such accidents, and most importantly, to find out efficient ways to act upon after such accidents have happened.

Wild-life Crossings:

In states of America, Canada and the U.K, a part of the road has been separated for the crossings of animals to avoid their accidents with motor vehicles. This step has reduced the number of accidents of road kills due to collision with vehicles. This measure has proved to be very beneficial towards the protection of wildlife and other states should also work on it. 

Who should be called to pick up road-kills?

To dispose of or pickup the road-kills further stated departments could be called;

• Local police departments of the state.
• Animal waste removal authorities.
• Local waste management authorities.
• Animal sanctuaries.
• Several dead animal removal organizations.
• Department of Natural Resources.

Why Road-kills should be removed?

The timely removal of road kills is very important to avoid further accidents that could be caused by their road blockage. These road kills can also give birth to several viruses that could affect all the travelers using those roads. These dead bodies if not removed timely could also appear to be the cause of water and environmental pollution.

Where are these removed roadkills taken?

The dead bodies of roadkills removed by different departments mentioned above are taken to the various veterinary research labs or to the farms to be used as the agricultural feed or some of them are eaten by several people or animals and some are just disposed of eternally.

Final thoughts:

These road kills may be the cause of various harms that could disturb the society, so immediate actions should be taken by various departments working to provide roadkill removal services to avoid from those harms. In those states where such departments are not so active, the government should take strict actions to bring those departments in action as it is necessary for both the wildlife and the human life.
