Can you pour acid into a vent pipe on the roof to decompose a dead animal that has gotten inside the pipe

Answers:
You could use LYE or the refined form of LYE caustic soda to remove the obstruction
it will desolve organic materials but NOT hurt the pipes.

It is strongly suggested to remove the obstruction this would be the best way, either use something like a coat hanger with a hook end, a strong cord with a treble hook or a sewer snake with a retriever head.
