It's life.. I mean.. would you dent your car to avoid killing a raccoon or a squirrel? I wouldn't.. but if you would, more power to you.

I hate to see dead animals on the side of the road. I cuss out at the honk whenever I see one.

My friend once took out one of those stupid gray doves that was sitting in the middle of the road. It flew up at the last minute, and hit the front bumper. Next thing we knew, we saw a cloud of feathers in the rear-view..

Heh...I think I've got you beat. I was driving to my friend's house, coming up a hill. Just as I reached the crest of the hill, a foot tall owl flashed before me, sitting in the middle of the road. It was the saddest thing; his head swung around toward me, and then I hit it. I felt awful, because there was no way I could have avoided it.

Thats nothing... while driving up I-5 , passing a tomato truck on a slightly bumpy road, raining tomatoes on the windshield. At least it was easy to clean, but freaky.

I crested a hill one time nearby and a cat was sitting right at the top of the hill. I smacked into him. I pulled over to check on him, and he got up and ran away before I could check to see where he lived. He was leaning funny to one side, then righted himself and took off. I looked around but I couldn't find him. And before anyone gets on my case, it was 3 a.m. and I wasn't about to go knocking on doors in the two big apartment complexes if they had cats. I felt pretty bad about it, I like cats. Now, pigeons on the other hand, there's a flock that sits in front of the gate at my work. I don't intentionally stop for them. No, I haven't hit one.

I hit a doggy once... the poor thing's owner was waiting for me to pass so she could pull into her driveway, and the little thing darted out from behind a tree and ran straight into my front bumper. Now that was awful... Her husband came out with a shovel to bury it, and she told her kid, and he was inside the house crying... Not fun at all.

Racoons are smart, I like them (when they're not picking through my garbage of course)

My friend was at summer camp when she was younger and woke up with a racoon sleeping curled up in a ball inbetween her legs! She freaked out of coarse :)

I was driving on a dark road once and ... crunch!
Poor thing, fully went right over it .. it felt like I ran over a tricycle or something :(

A few weeks ago, heading to my friends cabin at night .. my buddy slammed on the breaks .. on the road were three raccoons. One of them lay dying on the median and the other two were just huddled around it .. now that, that was sad.
The two mourning raccoons refused to move away from the dying one, I almost cried.

And yes, I guess I'm just a panty waist.

i have never run over an animal because i normally stop for them. If i were to run one over, i wouldnt cry or be upset at myself. Thats life. BTW, why the hell are you referring to an animal as "someone?"
