RE: roadkill pheasant
With the amount of bacteria that's been breeding in it, either throw it out or use the feathers for something like fly tying. I'd be worried about worms. I wouldn't let my dog touch it. BTW, i'm kinda conscience about my dog's health as I hate paying vet bills. I won't let her drink standing water becauseI've seen dogs that will urinate or defecate in standing water.
