Living in Michigan, I know what you mean about the dead wildlife on the roads,
disgusting. The fencing is not adequate and the budget to clean them up is basically
nonexistent.

Not too surprising, but pretty disgusting nonetheless. I've got an "I brake for
snakes" bumpersticker on my old truck, and I do. I am often appalled when I'm driving
on highways in certain states (Oklahoma, Michigan, and Indiana quickly come to mind)
at the hundreds of dead wild animals I see on those roads. I recently drove through a
great deal of wild lands crisscrossing New Brunswick, Canada, and there they had
wildlife fencing along both sides of the freeway for hundreds of miles, and next to
no dead animals on the road.
