I live by a highway where a lot of small animals get slaughtered because cars run them over. I don't want to waste the animals, but they don't taste very good.
Is it a good idea to use the animals as fertilizer?

Taste ain't everything, man. Why give good meat to some stoopid azaleas?

Because cows and humans don't share the same diseases, for the most part. Poo contains live samples of whatever diseases the poo-er has. Breaking the "fecal-oral" route of infection has been the most important advancement in public health in the last.... well, ever actually. Its why worms, tapeworms, cholera, typhus, and host of less famous pathogens are now uncommon. In theory, you could process human to sterilize it and then use it as fertilizer. Its not impractical for many bacteria, but some are able to rapidly construct remarkably durable encapsulation. To eliminate those and the viruses of interest you have to pretty nearly incinerate the poo, which destroys its value as a fertilizer. And then, to remove the many tons of various medicines our fellow citizens are swallowing and mainly excreted unchanged each day, would require incinerating the poo. Even if all that were solvable, there a further problem in that modern diets contain too much fat and animal protein, most of which is excreted unchanged. These are undesirable in a fertilizer and have a negative effect on crop growth.

If you dont want to "waste" a good roadkill, pull it to the side of the road and allow the wild animals a meal. They need it more than your stupid azaleas.

way back in the day some Indians used fish parts for fertilizer, and your idea may work, but be warned the smell isn't worth it.
I can't stand the smell of rotting carcasses, it makes me vomit. I'm sure some of your neighbors may have something to say about it too

It depends, if it is a pheasant it deserves a specific ceremony. After which it ma be used as fertiliser.
You must pick the pheasant up, gently and see just how run over it is. The majority normally died from head trauma they are good eating.

I wouldn't put anything larger than a badger on my flowers, but to each his own.

do you have a blender? Best to mulch them up really well first, they decompose more uniformly.
