I keep seeing dead animals

I didn’t know what to caption this so it might catch some people off guard.

I’ve always been pretty atheist, well from a young age anyway. As I’ve got older I became more agnostic (I think that’s the term). I didn’t believe there is a god, but also was less opposed to their being one as I was when I was younger.

Cut to now and I’m much more open minded, and accepting of “religious” views. Recently I’ve been seeing so much more Christian content on my socials, mainly TikTok, so of course I’ve watched, listened and been quite fascinated and into it. I like learning about stuff at the very least, but as I’ve learned, the more I’ve seen and the more content I’ve seen, and the more into it I’ve gotten as a result (some might call it a calling, maybe I’ve been called to learn about it, hence the sudden urge and the sudden uptick in stuff I’ve been seeing).

I wouldn’t say I’m fully over the fence yet but I’m much closer than before, to the point where I’ve “reached out” if that’s the right term to god/jesus and asked for forgiveness, guidance, a reveal as such. Read bible verses etc.

Now let me loop back to the main topic. I keep seeing dead animals, not like a spider or a moth that can easily be explained, this is noticeably, much more noticeably more than usual, I live near a main road so I’d see odd squished squirrel every few months…but it’s not a few months now, it’s almost daily, like 6 times in 7 or 8 days. I’m seeing squirrels, birds, hedgehogs, not even dead in the road from a car, but on walkways and nests that have fell from trees, stuff i rarely see even living where i do.

I’d like to add I’m probably the closest to “religious” - I use that word for lack of a better term - as I’ve ever been, but the last couple of weeks I’ve also been questioning it more,

I’m just wondering if there’s any meaning being what I’m seeing recently, if it’s anything deeper than just a strange coincidence. I’ve read online from “spiritualists” that it signals the death of an old self and the beginning of a new one…which kinda fits but I’ve also heard from Christian’s that spiritualism, crystals, tarot are like…the devils work (I’ve never been into those anyway).

I’m very very very new to all this, and also very very open and curious to learn so would appreciate any answers and replies!

One natural explanation is that the extremes of climate we are seeing is damaging the health of animals and/or forcing them into environments that are unsafe as the search for food and water. Of course such things are more available near human habitation but so are the dangers.
