225. No, you don't get it. Use your "empathy" muscle here
It doesn't bother me (well much, it doesn't "offend" me), but it would many people, including my wife. The whole issue is just about consideration for others. Not everyone feels good when they see this. And it really is not consistant with yard landscaping.

So if we are a society that:

1. Accepts some rules as to landscaping etc
2. Values kindness, empathy and community

It is entirely consistant not to hang your dead deer in front where other neighbors may be disturbed by it.

Trouble is, I am not sure we are that "kind" of society, as seems to be evidenced even on a board of democrats.
