Student Tries to Make Roadkill Pretty - uses protection

[ashling]

EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. - For the past several weeks, drivers near Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville have been noticing odd things about some of the roadkill on the sides of the area's highways.

Some of the dead possums and raccoons have been dressed in pet or human baby clothes and have had their claws painted with nail polish. The carcass of a deer has been adorned with gold paint.

The culprit is SIU-Edwardsville graduate art student Jessica May, 24, of West Lafayette, Ind.

May, a 2006 graduate of Purdue University, said she takes precautions in dealing with the carcasses.

"I wear gloves," she said. "I don't know that I could touch it with my bare hands, because by the time I find them, they're pretty far gone."

1. This is how nature tells us, "stay away".

And I'm not talking about the dead animals.

2. You'd be surprised at what you can touch with your bare hands

and still respect yourself in the morning. :P

3. Well, you'd have brought the roadkill home, so I'm not so sure your opinion helps.
