Dead deer


Dumping dead deer and deer parts in a creek is illegal, and a potential health hazard, officials say. Thankfully, you can't really see much here in this picture. But there are at least four dead deer and various parts of the animals dumped in this creek off Rippy Road in southern Cleveland County, right before you hit the South Carolina line. In fact, Rippy Road, which isn't paved, starts in North Carolina and ends in South Carolina.
We're working on a story on this (the deer, not the road).
This area of the county is beautiful, but deer isn't the only thing dumped here. You can also see tires in the creek. There are also various areas where people have dumped their trash along the road.
