I don't know but I can add to the thread (surprise). A local and notable photographer here was pushing a series a couple of years back. All the pics were of road-kill, squashed, spattered, dried, flattened, sun bleached, all wonderful stuff. I just think of how many missed photo-opportunities I've blissfully rolled over through the years and frankly it doesn't worry me one bit. If the pics were used to push the plight of some particular furry creature that had a habit of becoming ground into the asphalt at a certain traditional crossing point I'd understand but really who really wants to view pic after pic of squashed wild life?
