The way you wrote about it just seemed... like you had done that before lol. I could've written this comment, but the previous one... not so much.
Kind of ... I'm Indigenous Canadian and one of the lessons my hunter/trapper father taught me was to respect all animal life, no matter what it is. He taught us that no one should kill any animal unless it was to feed ourselves or use it for our survival. You don't just kill something for nothing.
So when I started driving on highways just over 30 years ago, I'd be a good person and clean up dead animals on the road. I thought it was disrespectful for people to just run over animals until it turned into an organic pancake. But it was constant and just about every drive I took meant I had to clean up something and most times, my passengers didn't appreciate it. Once I picked up a skunk that had been knocked dead ... hit in the head but not squished. I was careful and put it in a garbage bag and threw behind my half ton truck and drove it away to put in the woods somewhere. I stopped not far, picked up the bag and it burst .... INSIDE MY TRUCK BED!!! ... the skunk had 'leaked' or its glands had burst or let go or something and a bit of juice came out of the bag .... I just about gagged and ran away. It took me a month to get rid of that smell and no one wanted to ride with me.
The smell is so strong when you are that close that it will add a stench to your clothes that will take about 20 washes to remove the scent.
