hahhahahhhahahaha

and over and over and over and over again

In Kentucky, opossums and deer are the most common roadkill.

And btw, I've hit a cat before

Hit a raccoon once. Blasted thing knocked the tow-hook cover out of my front bumper and I never found it. Cost me $30 to get a new one. I went back to try and see what happened but I couldn't find the raccoon. All I can think of is that it got thrown into the ditch by the impact and I wasn't about to go wading through ditch-water.

I rear-ended a flying bird once too. That was weird. It kept flying though so I guess it wasn't hurt badly.

If you guys are going to kill animals with your vehicles atleast brake when you go over them, it'll make a larger stain on the road.

I have killed three deer over the years with a car.

I have hit so many dogs, cats, racoons, possums, over the years that I have lost count.

I just bought a new truck and I am dreading the day when the front end gets smashed in.


The price you pay for living in the middle of nowhere surrounded by trees.

Most animals seems to turn back and get run over for some reason. The only reason I can see is that when they see the car coming they get scared and they don't know whats on the other side of the road, but they do know that it was safe where they just were. So they decide to turn back. And then they get it because you never expect them to do that...because people don't do that. I think animals just think different.

I ran over a rabbit once...it just darted out, I didn't have a chance. I tried to swerve to straddle it (was the best I could do on a narrow road) but it turned and ate it under the tire. My girlfriend was so pissed, she thought I had swerved in order to hit on purpose! I felt terrible.

Another time I was going like 60 on some back roads, and a squrril does that stupid turn back thing. I didn't even try to swerve because it would have been pretty dangerous. I looked back in my mirror and I see the squrril rolling around...then he plants his feet and runs across the road. I must have missed him with my tires and the wind from my car sent him for a ride! Lucky little bastard.

***Funniest thing involving roadkill that happened around here. Some one hits this huge beaver right by my house. It was a really big beaver and it was right over the crest of the hill by my driveway. So you couldn't really see until you were already upon it. I understood how some one hit it in the first place.

So the beaver rots there for like a week, in the middle of the road. This kid from my highschool is driving his mom's car by my house, when he comes up over the hill he sees the beaver in the road and trys to swerve to avoid it. My road is narrow and it drops off pretty sharp on the sides. He went off the road and totaled his mom's car...trying to avoid hitting a beaver that was already dead!

I was driving to work a couple years ago and some asshat in a pickup truck ran over a cat that ran right out in front of him. D!ckbag just right on going.

🙁🙁

It happens....

Some animals are silly that way.. If the area the cat was in was somewhat new, it's automatic for them to run back the other way - where they "know" its safe. I guess they don't have the presence of mind to judge and/or sense of distance/time that we do.

I hate letting our kitty outside for this very reason, but.. she refuses to be an indoor cat, so.. there isn't much I can do.

We live on a fairy big piece of property, but it is surrounded by roads....

She's such a scardy-cat, I don't think she ever goes near them.. but it's still a bit disconcerning.

🙁

She is only outside during the day, though.. she comes in at night. So that's good at least. 🙂

I hit a bird once with the hood ornament of a rental car. Damn feathers stuck forever. I finally got out to clean it off 'cause it looked so bad driving along with feather flapping off the hood ornament.
