If an animal dies in the street due to an accident with a vehicle, it is typically up to the municipality (for example City of Brampton or Town of Caledon) to remove the carcass as quickly as possible so that it does not become hazardous due to decomposition or attract scavengers and predators such as crows or coyotes into the neighbourhood.
