I saw a terrible thing and really wish I'd called Animal Control. I doubt they'd have done anything or come out in time, but if it happens again I'm calling.
Last night DH and I went to the store for some vinegar, and on the way home we saw this pile of rocks and chunks of concrete in the road at a cul-de-sac by our house. DH had to swerve b/c the concrete chunks were big enough to damage a tire. As we passed, I noticed a clump of fur that was silver-ish and assumed it was a possum.
Then this morning, DH went for a jog and ran past it to see what happened. The possum was still dead in the road and the concrete was there. I don't want to get into too much detail, but he said there were also sticks and things had been done to the possum with rocks and sticks.
Now I'm no lover of possums, but that's no reason to stone one to death and desecrate it with sticks! I figure it's too late to call AC now, since it's been over a day and we don't know who did it. They'd probably say "it's just a possum..." because they have so many cases and pet animals to investigate.
I grew up in a really baaad neighborhood and have seen people neglect and mistreat animals (mostly out of indifference and ignorance, not malicious intent), even tease them and do cruel things, but this is the first time I have seen an animal actually tortured to death. How disgusting!!
