Carcasses danger on the highways

Ever so often I encounter carcasses on the highways. Sometimes in the middle or at the side of the road.

They give off a foul stench and look disgusting.

Most of them are carcasses of dogs that were abandoned by their owners. The carcasses pose a threat as they can cause accidents when motorists try to avoid making contact with them.

I am appealing to the powers that be to put a system in place whereby citizens can call and report animal carcasses on the roads so that a crew can be dispatched to remove them immediately.

The longer they remain is the more they would deteriorate and pollute the environment.

We are in the peak of the Carnival season.

A lot of visitors would soon be visiting our shores. I don’t think this is a welcoming sight for them.
