Sincere question...
Why as a society we can look at dead animals on the road and no one has a problem. BUT... show a dead human on the road, and the crap hit's the fan?
Live is live, and dead is dead IMO.

So if one of your loved one's got splattered by a semi you'd be OK with the newspaper publishing photos of it? Dead is dead, right? I don't think so.
I think it has to do with dignity for the dead humans. We can read what happened to the person, we don't need to see a picture of some old lady that got mutilated in a car wreck with a deer. Pictures of the deer are OK, though. Why? Because generally, people don't believe animals have souls to be offended. They eat animals. They don't eat (well, most at least) people.

Yep.
If its your family in the paper, you don't have to look at them.
Dead is dead, no difference. When you rot and decay, you rot and decay. No different than a racoon on the side of the road dead or your mamma on the side of the road dead. Hopefully if it's your momma, you'll pick her up at least
So what you're saying is there is a realtionship between dignity and beliving the dead object has a soul per how you actually treat that dead object?
If I have a soul, WTF do I care what you do with my body when my soul is no longer in my body if I'm dead???

I don't understand the turn this thread has taken. Did somebody say something controversial? I don't understand why a photo of a dead human needed to be posted. (??)
I was reading with interest because I've seen a skunk near my rural house and was curious about what to do about it. It disappeared before I could dispatch it.

What's the difference between a photo of a dead human compared to a dead skunk on the side of the road?
Here is the question you apparently missed....

I recall a post last December about when young people should start caring about others and why they don't seem to. Seems they might need an example of how to treat people, living or dead.

Should you treat people any different than you would treat any other living animal, living or dead?
Personally, no difference between gutting a dear and and gutting a dead human. Both living animals now dead.
You treat both with the same respect.
Taught a long time ago that when you take the life of an animal to feed you, you give thanks for that animal.
We're on top of the food chain, I get that...

The rabid human could only wish to meet the same end as the skunk. Instead we have to be “humane” and let them claw their eyes out and die a slow painful death.

That's not true, either.
