Unfortunately many drivers will slow down, in what then becomes dangerous circumstances to save anything from a frog to a pheasant. A cat, dog or any kind of bird or animal can only ever take second place to the safety of humans, so I say keep driving, no swerving! There.....thinks that'll stir a few up!! |

Sue H Posts: 8172 Joined: 29th Jun 2007 Location: USA | quotePosted at 21:45 on 17th May 2009 I watched a 'Trauma in the ER' (real life emergency room program in America) once where they bought in a man who had been run over by a truck that had swerved to miss hitting a rabbit. The rabbit lived, the truck driver had no injuries, but the biker lost one arm up to the shoulder and one leg up to the knee. Tell me if it was worth maiming (almost killing) this one man to save a rabbit (or a dog, cat, squirrel). I know what my answer is. |
