Dead Animals With Get Well Balloons Popping up on Michigan Roads

There is no shortage of roadkill on Michigan roads and highways. Someone has been placing get-well balloons on roadkill along some of Michigan's roads.

I have a 50-minute drive to work, so I spend about 10 hours a week commuting and see a variety of critters hit by vehicles each day.

I just saw some crows this morning enjoying a buffet of roadkill. It's either crows, ravens, turkey buzzards, or the occasional eagle feasting on roadkill.

Michigan has a variety of animals that get hit by vehicles: deer, squirrels, raccoons, possums, rabbits, coyotes, foxes, porcupines, turkeys, muskrats, beavers, dogs, cats, and varieties of birds. If you are further north, you could see an elk, bear, wolf, cougar, or moose, but these are rare.

Dead Animals With Get Well Balloons Popping up on Michigan Roads

Recently, someone posted photos of roadkill with get-well balloons attached on the Michigan Reddit page. The poster says the dead animals with get well balloons were seen on M-52 between Saginaw and Chesaning.

My guess is the roadkill has been on the side of the road for quite some time, so someone attached the balloons to attract the attention of the folks who pick up and dispose of roadkill. Let's find out what others had to say on the Michigan Reddit thread.

I'm surprised people are spending money on this.

Not sure roadkill will make the Pure Michigan commercials but sounds like a spoof ad in the making.

Bingo!

It is, but I bet somebody thinks it's funny.
