Are Critical Mass participants fair game?

What sort of road kill would be acceptable?

A mole?

A rat?

A Snake?

What if you hit a cow, would you chop it up, or make a really big pot?

There are no wild cows so hitting and taking a cow home could be considered theft. If i hit a deer i would rap it up and take it home. I would spice it up and make some biltong out of it and hang it from my garage roof for a few months. Probably make a nice rug out of its hide.

A cow can escape surely?

Anyway, roadkill, If I hit a woodpigeon with my car and it was in good condition, I would probably eat it, if I hit a pheasent duck etc etc, i would eat it, aslong as it didnt go under the tyre and just went up the bonnet

I eat a lot of rabbits that I shoot, and I wouldn't eat road kill. The guts could have been popped inside and oozed their contents all over the edible meat. Suppose the legs could be ok but not really worth it.
