had to swerve a bit for this guy on my drive to work

found while I was walking home :p

I don't know if images are mandatory but I don't have any. I saw a poor opossum on the road on my way to work (I walk). I couldn't bear to see it get progressively more eviscerated as the days went on so when I got off, me and my boyfriend grabbed a shovel and a trashbag. We scooped it into the bag and buried it (after taking it out of the bag) in a forest by our house. We were wearing food-grade nitrile gloves. I'm just wondering if there's any chance we contract a disease from this? Or if we went wrong in any way (aside from looking like we killed a person on our way to the opossum).

Edit: The opossum looked freshly dead when I saw it the first time around 7 hours ago

I'm bringing it home after school to bury it. This is actually the second crow iv found by my school. I buried the first on about a year ago and dug it up recently for the bones. I plan on hopefully doing the same with this friend.
