Well, first, who is "they"? The government?, Fellow animals?
Second, I think it is illegal in some states to remove animal carcasses from the side of the road. It becomes a food source for live animals.
There are private contractors that are contracted with State to remove some road kill. SEE....
"Brannon has a three-year contract with the state of Pennsylvania to pick up dead deer along state roads in Lehigh, Northampton, Monroe and Carbon counties. He's paid $40 per deer. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation says Brannon averages about 1,800 of them a year. That's $72,000 annually. "
Every year, 400 million animals meet their death on America's roads-more than one million each day. That makes road kills second only to the food industry in terms of animal lives terminated.
BUT....
More than 200 motorists are killed and thousands more are injured every year in the United States in collisions between vehicles and animals, many of them deer. In Georgia last year, a teen-age boy riding his bike was killed by an airborne deer that had been struck by a car. Individual motorists typically pay $2,000 or more in vehicle repairs when they hit a deer, the U.S. Department of Transportation says.
Some people take pictures of road kill and post them on the web.
Other people eat road kill (nasty, I'm sure).
The rest do nothing with road kill, they're dead.

transportation agency let it sit there for a while so cars can ran them over and over. after a couple of weeks it should be very flat and dry then the skin is sold to leather factories used for fur coats and leather jackets.
i know, that's where i got mine.
