There are so many diseases that can be/are carried by scavengers and opertunistic feeders that it is scary. Especially when you realize that most all of our worst "human" diseases come directly from animals. It really makes you realize the fragile balance that is mother nature and how sometimes the smallest action can have large effects.This is a very interesting thread. Makes you wonder if yotes or other carrion feeding animal or birds could carry.
