Southern rednecks rejoice as new law allows them to skin and eat roadkill. Wait... the law is from Illinois? Whoops, sorry about the stereotyping there, Jethro

So I CAN'T skin and eat roadkill? Dammit submitter, way to get my hopes up just so you can yank the rug out from under me.

Don't worry subby, once you get south of I-74 in Illinois it might as well be Kentucky or Missouri, so you're not too off-base.

It depends on what part of the state you're in and if you have your dick-shaking permit paid for and on you.

Joking aside, at least 14 states have laws related to roadkill,
including those that let motorists' keep animals they hit, though some pertain only to deer or bears
, according to an informal survey for The Associated Press by the National Conference of State Legislatures.
I am not sure what will be left of your car after you run it into a bear.

Yeah, you're gonna be worse off than the bear.
Anywho, in Wisconsin if you hit a deer and kill it, you can call the DNR out. They dress it and give you the meat right there on the road, so this law doesn't seem that messed up to me. To each his own, I guess.

I'm from Alabama, lived there for twenty-four years. Then I moved to Chicago, lived in the South Loop for two and now in the burbs for almost four. Whenever anyone I meet here makes a crack about Alabama and racism, I just remind them that Chicago is segregated.

Northern culture has white flight and ghettos.
Southern culture has the battle flag of a racist failed country and segregated proms, as well as a huge percentage of the population being opposed to interracial marriage, as well as countless other acts and attitudes of outright, blatant racism.

Most of your big cities are. Dallas has Oak Cliff, which is mostly ghetto, and then you have North Dallas, which is more hip and preppy.

Why would it be illegal?
I could see banning people from intentionally hitting animals as a way to get around hunting permits, but if the deed is done what's wrong with eating it? You can't sue the state if you give yourself food poisoning because you didn't know what you were doing.
And for any dedicated greens out there this would be an available animal protein source that doesn't rely on intensive industrialized animal production techniques.
The government really shouldn't be in the business of telling people not to do stuff like this.

Right .
The north is known for it's overflowing population of rednecks and it's a mistake to think that the south is a stronghold of them.
