Poor Squirrel....damn people!

[JayPatel]

i squish spiders, but not animals.

<< but when we're driving around in the country... there isn't much to do... we get bored and do stupid stuff... it's not like we have a shortage of squirells in the country... >>

Actually there is plenty to do in the country, as well as in the city. But all the activities won't quite fill the bill when all one wants to do is swerve and kill small creatures by the side of the road. That's a very special kind of need. (Which I find abhorrent)

Anybody who would kill any living thing for fun is sick, and needs a serious headcheck. I don't kill anything I don't have too, I have even carried spiders (ugh) and wasps out of the house so I did not have to hurt them.

Compuwiz: I am sorry your wife had to see that. I am the same way with animals, and it just breaks my heart to know there are people out there with so little self worth, they have to take their joy from killing innocent things.

when i was on vacation we were driving in the houston area when this cat got caught under the car in front of us. luckily it only got clipped by the bottom of the car and made the cat horribly disoriented.
It was in traffic so I cut off two lanes so no one would hit the cat while it managed to regain its senses and make it to the side of the road.

While it's sad to see animals hit by cars, the truth is, it happens and it happens a lot. Animals are innocent to what we do. Ever read watership downs when the rabbits are trying to cross the highway?

In France, i saw a taxi run over a pidgeon... it was slowly moving and the pidgeon just split open like a melon and oozed out it's innards. It was pretty gross.

Some of you people should be shot. Killing animals for fun or boredom, what kinda sick F*cks are you?

 

[azazyel]

&quot;God kills indiscriminately and so shall we, for no creatures under god are as we are, none so like him as ourselves.&quot;

 

[Sluggo]

In hindsight your wife should have nabbed their tag number and placed a call to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals SPCA, and called the police and turned them in for reckless driving. It may not have done much good but at the least their parents would have been notified of their actions, and the kids might have gotten in some kind of trouble.

A mallard flew into the side of my car a couple of years ago and was killed, it was horrible. How someone can purposely set out to kill and animal and actually feel good about themselves afterward.. :disgust:

My father hit a deer on the way home from a party one day, and I could not stop crying. My mom banged her head (she was fine though) and my father turned around and yelled at me &quot;I am peeling your mothers face off the dashboard, and all you care about is the deer?&quot; I guess I always have just been sensitive about animals being killed, especially when people do it on purpose.

 

[Cretin]

That is incredibly sick hpkeeper. What the hell is wrong with you? Swerving to hit or scare the sh!t out of a poor innocent animal? Because you're god damn BORED?

That's just not right.

If it's an accident or something, then it's a sad loss and there's not much you can do, but if you're doing it on purpose, I hope someone driving a vehicle 10x larger than yours swerves to &quot;scare&quot; you and &quot;accidentally&quot; squishes you like a pancake.

Somehow, intentional killing of animals without the added intention of eating them afterward (deer hunting is fine, as long as you like venison) strikes me as mildly deranged in an unfortunately common teenage way. I'll admit to having a poor animal avoidance record (flatspotted tires four times, successfully avoided the animal once, and on one unsuccessful occasion there was no injury to the animal), but I always make the best effort I can to avoid the animal without endangering myself or other drivers. I have to find one occasion humerous though. I was driving down a back road at 55-60 with no-one else in sight. I slowed ( to ~45) and merged into the other lane to avoid a flock of birds taking up half my lane. Just as I was passing them, one flew up in front of my windshield moving in the same direction as the car. Unfortunately for him (her?, it?) the car was moving faster and the bird was rear ended. Apparently the speed differential was reduced enough by my braking and the bird's adrenalin, because it bounced off the windshiled and continued flying away with no apparent injury. I can laugh about it because the bird was able to fly away. That said, I feel very guilty still about the rabbit that decided to jump into the road 15 ft ahead of a car moving at 55 mph.

Heh, about a week ago there was a crow in the middle of the road. I saw it and slammed on the brakes (it was a back road and there wasn't any cars to rear-end me). My car has an antenna on the roof that's angled back and when the friggin' crow tried flying, it went straight up and somehow managed to hit just my antenna.

I stopped and saw the crow tumble onto the ground. It got up, took a few steps, and flew away. Luckily it was ok, but damn was it funny.

I dont like to see animals get hurt or killed either.On a second thought Comp to bad those idiots werent speeding that cpu I bought from you to me

About 6 months ago, a squirrel ran into me! Bicycling down a busy street, on a bike path, I saw this squirrel trying to cross the road from the other side. When I first saw it, it had basically frozen in the middle of the street, with cars approaching on either side. I figured the best way to get out of its way was to speed up, so I started pedaling as fast as I could. Then traffic cleared on my side, and the squirrel made a headlong dash toward me. There wasn't time to stop by then, and I thought I was going to stay ahead of the squirrel. Then I felt a thud from my rear tire. I looked back and saw nothing in the street; the squirrel had safely made it across the street to a wooden fence. Apparently, in its panic, the squirrel ran headlong into my rear tire, and fortunately kept right on running.

I don't kill spiders, but my cats eat them.

I was in the upper Ga mountain area one day out in the woods looking across a revine when out of the upper canopy of trees I saw a squirrel that had made a bad desition and fell back first to the rocky creek below.Never the less it didnt get up.Then one day living outside Atlanta I heard a load bang with sparks and looked up at a squirrel that just got fried by a transformer,bummer.

 

[SSP]

Ken_g6, Almost the same thing happened to my Dad. We saw the squirrel jumping half way, and my dad slowed down, then speed up when the squirrel stopped in the middle of the road. But then it jumped right in between the front and rear tire. We felt a bump in the rear left tire... He didn't make it.

I'm no animal rights wacko.. but purposely killing an animal for amusement is just not right..

I once hit a pregnant racoon, damn it was like a bear crossing the street.. huge Mutha it was.
it was dark and foggy and I didn't see it in time to miss it... really upset me..

 

[AMD4ME2]

Hey Ken_G6..

you think hitting a squirrel on a bicycle is odd... I Hit a deer!! man it almost killed me too... I was in the woods at almost dark and came down this long dirt trail going top speed on my mountain bike... rounded the corner and WHAMMO! over the bars I went.. so im thinking WTF was that??? I look back and here is this big ass buck standing there looking at me as if to say &quot;watch where your going to clueless idiot!&quot; :-D

 

[hpkeeper]

Well... for those of you who don't like animals being killed... what's a more acceptable death? Being shot by a gun or being run over by a car...? There are more deaths in this country due to car accidents opposed to Gun accidents... yet Car accidents are more acceptable. I guess for a human it's more acceptable to be run over by a car.... But since these animals are more hairy/adorable.... it's less acceptable? Next question.... would you rather I shot the damn animals or run them over? (NIETHER IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE ANSWER). I'm not a hunter (at least with a gun), but that's a simple change of weapon.
These amimals are no use to our society other than for food... Pets... Leather and controling the population of other animals. We defend animals over human beings.... if you say that I'm messed up because I hit animals that are taking up my road space... look at it from my point of view... you prioritize an animal over yourself... now who's messed up?
Those of you who say there isn't anything to do in the country... come live here for a week. You bunny Squeezers need to stop watching Bambi and the other Disney movies where you are in the land of fluffy white clouds and talking trees where birds are chirping and it never rains yet the grass is green... You need to step into reality and start watching the discovery channel... Watch an antelope be torn to shreds by a lion. I'm not justifying the fact that I like to hit animals... I don't just drive down the road waiting for the next cuddly creature to cross so I can swerve to hit it... But common... it was a squirell... it probably does have a family... Sh!t happens... but like I said in a previous post... we don't have a shortage of squirells! they aren't an endangered species! (once again... that doesn't mean go out and run over as many as you can.)

SuperGroove Cow Tipping... never done it... couple of my friends have... they said it was fun... May have to try it sometime. hehe....

 

[Yeeny]

I'm not a hunter (at least with a gun), but that's a simple change of weapon.

Ok, do you eat every animal you decide to run over? And how can you compare hunting with a gun to feed yourself or your family to running down frogs and skunks?

 

[hpkeeper]

I shouldn't have said I &quot;Swerve&quot; to hit animals... I've never done that... it's more like... If the animal is in my way... I'll hit it... I'm not going to cause myself danger by oncoming traffic over an animal... I personally have not &quot;Swerved&quot; to hit an animal... I have been in a car when friends of mine have &quot;Swerved&quot; to hit animals... and if you don't believe me that I don't &quot;Swerve&quot; to hit animals.. that's fine... but my friends go after all animals... including domesticated ones. On 2 separate occasions (simply because I was the one who went to the door an apologized) with the same friend I can distinctly remember him swerving to hit 2 cats... nailed both... I don't know how it turned out with one of the cats.... he killed one... I know that.
If it's a wild animal.. it's one thing... no one is partial to a wild animal... If you swerve to hit a cat or dog... that's corrupted... That animal meant something to someone. Anywho.... I reamed my buddy a new @$$hole after both those occasions... and he hasn't done anything since like that... but has encouraged me (unsuccessfully) to hit Domesticated animals.. I have yet to do so though.

 

[compuwiz1]

Uh, I believe my point was that I was saddened and mad that someone took the life of a living being, just for the fun of it. :|

Those jerks going 50MPH+ in a 25 could have taken out someone's child too.

 

[hpkeeper]

I get it... apparantly a few of you have a misconception.... you think that ALL Hunters hunt to eat... Once again... Look into reality... Not everyone is as kind to animals as you are.
