Hehe, I seen twice now, a rodent, first a bunny and then a squirrel, that was floundering and writhing in the middle of the road after being hit by a car. It looked funny.

I'm waiting for the punch line.... :rolleyes

i saw a little bear cub (looked like a large dog) get smoked on the sts earlier this year if the truck hadn't hit it i probably would've...it sucked

[Madman]

saw a lady lose a pair of shoes (she'd forgotten on the trunk) - landed on Steveston Hwy got run over - she had no idea.

few blocks later saw a dainty asian lady come running into traffic to sweep up some poor critter that was blown (and i mean blown) all over the road. didn't look like a cat or a dog but maybe a racoon. The lady was dressed up in a business skirt and didn't seem like she was upset or anything. Still not sure where she came from or why she was pickin it up in the middle of Steveston Hwy. wierd stuff today.

One day on the major street in front of our place, I saw a squirrel running into and out of traffic, he'd run into traffic, bat at something, and then run away as cars approached. Kept this up for a number of passes before I realized that what he was batting at was another squirrel... I seem to recall reading that squirrels are monogamous, so it's possible his mate (or her mate, I guess) wasn't quite so swift crossing the street.

one time i sw a squirell hopping along the side of the road...just running mindin her business on THE SIDE of the road like a people do......anyhooo some assholio comes driving by and swerves to hit the squirell!! 10 feet in front of me....squirell does a roll and is lyin there twitching....I would have jumped in the car and chased his ass down but that squirell had babies and had been living in my friends yard so I figured I'd move her off the pavement before some other jackass decided to squish her. I took the license plate # for future vandalism fun...

I've taken a squirrel to the vet before to be put down, because its head was cracked open, but it was still alive and trying to drag itself to safety. I would have done it myself, but I'm a wuss. A friend of mine saw a guy stomp a squirrel right on the head after it fell off the SUB at UBC, which, as gruesome as it looked, was the best thing to do.

i can't stand seein an animal suffer. i saw a racoon limpin' after it got hit and that put me in a bad mood too. one time i had to back over a pheasent that my buddy ran over by accident when we were wheelin, it's wing was torn off and it was just gonna suffer for a while til a cayote got it so i put it outta it's misery.

[toomuchgsxr]

its the one thing I cant bear to see, an animal in pain. Im a suck that way. I cant understand how some people can hunt.

I seen a coyote limping down the tracks last night.... walked right past me, not even 15 feet away, and normally they FLY away at the site of a human nearby. But he just looked at me and stopped for a few seconds, and then slowly returned to limping down the tracks. I wanted to give him some food, anything to help it out, but I knew it was a BAD idea and just let him walk along.


Kinda pissed me off, it's like seeing a dog with a hurt leg, you just wanna help it.

Recently a seagull landed right in front of my car and I ran over him before I even had time to hit the brakes. Plus, at the last second, I realized that if I stomped on the brakes, it may cause more injury by diving the front end of the car right into him as I passed over. I just felt sick.

I stopped and he was limping off the road (leg clearly broken, among other damage), then I went around the block to my house, grabbed a box and a towel and returned. By the time I returned, there was a girl with it who'd seen the whole thing and told me that, even from her view, I had no time to stop. We put him in the box and I took him to the wildlife rehabilitation centre, which is about a 45 minute drive away. Coincidentally, we had just attended their open house the previous weekend, so I knew exactly where to take it.

I called the centre later that afternoon to find out the bird's status, and they said they had to put him down, as his injuries were too extensive to treat and he wouldn't have been able to be released back into the wild. They did mention, however, that the leg injury he had was pre-existing, and probably explained why he wasn't as mobile and was unable to avoid being run over.

I felt sad for him, but at least he wasn't suffering anymore. I know people are going to say it was "just" a seagull, but I don't care. Even though I felt I couldn't have avoided running over it, I couldn't just drive away and do nothing.

This one time, my lunch bag that I left on the dashboard went flying out of my car's open window when I went around a corner.
I tried to pull over and save it, but it was too late...the car behind me ran it over.

It was a special sandwich. Two slices of 20 grain bread, all-natural peanut butter, and concord grape jam. I rushed to its side and opened the lunch bag to discover my worst fears had come true. I looked heavenward and shouted, "Why? Why!? WHY!?!?!". Oh sure, there's been other sandwiches since then, but not like that one...I lost my lunch that day.
