Death's Cleanup Crew
UpChurch, J. 2018.  Answers 13(5):22-25. CELD ID 26587

Abstract
Cleaning up dead animals really stinks-and that's a good thing, which shows God's wise provision even in a fallen world. This article really stinks. It's putrid, rotten, foul, odiferous, and vile. If the thought of something rotting under the hot sun makes your stomach churn, move along, nothing to see here. But if you're interested in the incredible, complex design that goes into breaking down animal remains, hold your nose and dig in. Stages of Life in Death Quick show of hands. How many of you have spent time watching an animal decay? Anyone? Unless you live on a farm, the closest you've come is probably a squashed squirrel or skunk. You catch a flash of innards as you drive by and that's enough. Yuck!
