Default This is disgusting, road kill calender.

This guy is trying to make a buck off a calender of roadkill photos. I can't stand roadkill, it is an unfortunate cost of driving that animals get killed and this a-hole is glorifying it? Sick!

Good for this guy I say!
Saw a market untapped, and decided to jump in.

I haven't read the article, but hopefully he shovels the animals to the side of the road after he photographs them. I hate the re-runover.

That is gross, I have trouble seeing it on the road while I drive but I much agree with the post above, he saw an untapped market...that is how you make money. Still disgusting in my opinion though!

In Cairns, Australia I saw a bunch of calander's, postcards, mugs, with roadkill pictures of cane toads. They absolutely hate those toads there, never seen so much anger towards an animal.

Here are the postcards: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3166/...bfc12e.jpg?v=0
