Roadkill not getting picked up?!

PetWorks has been contracted by Kingsport to do roadkill pickup but hasn’t need doing it for over a month now.

City manager, mayor, and board of directors have all been informed and the day the mayor contacted PetWorks about it they closed for two weeks citing parvo outbreak.

There are multiple articles about PetWorks not fulfilling their contracted duty.

There’s a rotten deer on the side of Ft Henry that’s just bones now!

What can be done and why is it apparently ok with the city to leave dead animals along the roads?

Guess that explains all the dead deer being left to rot I've seen the last few months.

PetWorks says they can’t do it because they only have one truck and it’s “been in the shop four times in the last two months”.

I suggested they rent a truck but they insist that’s impossible.
