    I think alot of drivers aim for animals , when they could easily miss them !! Animals maybe dumb or even stupid for crossing roads & highways . But , I think drivers that deliberately run-down animals or swerve to hit animals or critters are dumber then the animal they are KILLING !! If you get that bored driving maybe a new career is worth looking into ! Please stay out of our town , WE like our wildlife living !! Thank you !!!!

    Really?......


    Why would we try to aim for them again?

    I tried to avoid a ####er spaniel that ran out onto I-10 below Phoenix....I wound up hitting it because the other choice was to nail the soccer mom next to me.....Hitting a 50 pound dog bent my bumper back 6".....Now imagine trying to aim for a moose and "succeeding"...

    Oh well...Enviro-Whackos need to have a say too.....

    No they don't. Everytime they are given a say, they cost the rest of us a lot of time, money, and headache.

    Sadly, the enviro-whackos usually know a lot less about nature than the rest of us.

    I have never heard of someone swerving to hit a animal on purpose I think someone has been watching a little bit too much TV

    It happens more often than you think.

    I forgot who conducted the study, but a group found out that it also depends on the type of wild life. They have found that drivers would be more likely to intentionally hit a large snake vs something like a turtle.

    I was making a joke, sorry you missed the sarcasm.

    I never intentionally hit animals.

    I am as kind to animals as I can. I want them to be as tender to eat as I can when I am done cooking them.
