When we found a dead bird in our yard, I called the local health department because I was worried about avian flu. They told me to dispose of the bird by bagging it in a plastic bag and throwing it out with the garbage. I have to think the answer would be the same for a dead squirrel.

<div>That said, I have a recipe for stewed squirrel that I've never tried....<br>

<div>I saw a dead squirrel on the road the other day across from my house. I didn't run over it. Later that day when I took my dog walking, someone put the squirrel in my yard. How rude! If they can pick it up, why couldn't they discard it? Now that I have to deal with it (certainly can mow over it without being a mess), what is the rule? Can I just put it in a bag and discard with the regular trash?</div>
