Background
I love all wildlife, so distressing to see them at the side of our main roads. The way that people hit and run and leave the animals for dead, suffering so unnecessary. Could this be a legal requirement, that all road deaths must be reported?
3 June 2025, 6 badgers dead, 2 deer's. 16 June 2025 1 Fox
Jan - Nov 2024, Police reported 11 RTCs involving animals
Think about tourists coming on holiday with their families, do they want to see dead animals on the main roads?
