Since the election, I have seen SEVERAL posts on FB of people (or the SPCA/Animal Shelter) saying that a there is a dead cat (with description) on the side of the road in such & such area/town. Sometimes it’s the SPCA saying that they have removed the deceased animal, or sometimes it’s a person relaying the information in case some is missing their pet.

Sure, over the years I’ve occasionally seen similar posts, (it happens sometimes when people let their animals roam), but I have noticed an noticeable uptick this week which is (now that you mention it) suspicious.
