When driving on the freeway, who do we call if we see a dog running on the dangerous freeway?

Question

Many of us have cell phones, so calling for help ASAP can hopefully help save the poor animal. Also, if there's an already dead animal on the freeway, who do we call for removal of the animal without having more cars run over it or swirve around it?

Answer 1

Local highway patrol or state police. Also, the ASPCA.

If it is friendly, try to coax him safely into your car, then get off of the freeway.

Answer 2

Both are traffic hazards, I call 911 in this case, especially if the deceased animal is fairly large. They in turn contact the State Police or Sheriffs who have jursidiction over state and highway routes.

A few key pieces of info you need to have: what direction of the highway is it on? What MILE MARKER is it between? Which lane is it obstructing?

Answer 3

Animal Control for both questions

Answer 4

Animal Control or SPCA also not moving hazzard to traffic, Then notify the non emergency police number.

Answer 5

Call animal control,Humain Society,Or the Police for more valid info.

Answer 6

I would consider both to be traffic hazards. I would call 911 if I was driving. I would call the local police non-emergency number if I waited until I was home to call.
