Road Kill!!

[Warped]

Well I just hit my 1st roadkill of the year. Feel really sorry for the old chap. It was a raccoon and I was coming home from work and it was trotting along with the road and I slowed down but stupid guy ran right out in front and I crushed the poor bugger. Its a shame I don't have the balls to stop and look at the animal or even my car for the matter....it was really dark out. I think i hit him at about 30mph.

So have any stories about road kill??

 

[morgs]

I've only hit birds, and not many of them...thank God.

Saw a pigeon get hit by a car. Was only like 15m away from it so I saw the whole deal. Looked like it shat it's guts out of it's backside. D:

 

[Barnz]

It's official. HL2.net is full of murderers.

 

[VirusType2]

nah, not really. It's an accident. On the bright side, other animals and birds will benefit with a free lunch.

 

[Remus]

It's an accident.

Speak for yourself. I hit them, and pedestrians on purpose so that they spawn money.

 

[mechanicallizard]

like death race!
bonus points if you hit pensioners!

this morning, like most mornings, a bird was in the middle of the road and I was doing about 40. I said to myself "move birdie, movie birdie, MOVE BIRDIE...(bird flies away)...nice

5 minutes later i ran over a homeless man.

I've never been able to hit a bird despite all my efforts. I've only ever been able to run over a squirrel.

 

[PimpinPenguin]

I ran over a peacock last week, i was expecting it to get out of the way, it didn't. I also hit a Pigeon a couple of months ago, i was driving under a bridge and it flew right in front of me, got bird goo all over my windscreen.

 

[Adabiviak]

Rookies. I've run over two squirrels on my bicycle.

 

[mechanicallizard]

^ i once hit a chicken with a motorbike.

 

[Vigilante]

I've hit a few groundhogs...but they don't have thumbs like raccoons so I don't feel as bad about it.

 

[gFrohman]

Ran over a squirrel's back with my bicycle once. I've hit a few birds here & there. Almost hit a deer once on the freeway; thank god for all those years I played Star Wars: Racer.

I still feel bad for everyone one of them. The worst is seeing a dead dog or cat on the side of the road .

 

[G(ordon)-man]

Hit a sheep with a car last year. Car got all bloody.

 

[Tyguy]

gordon, you're avatar is freaking me out

 

[The Monkey]

Never hit anything, besides bugs.

 

[Survivr]

Almost hit an owl once, but apart from that nothing I can think of.

 

[Remus]

Never hit anything, besides bugs.

But... you don't have to be in a car to hit bugs. Unless, they are radioactive giant bugs D:

 

[Warped]

I'd feel really sorry if I hit a fox or small cute animal. Skunk would be horrible too, they're pretty cool animals

 

[AKIRA]

I see all your bird stories....and I raise you 1 bird getting hit at 180 mph:

you know it's kinda cruel to leave a wounded animal to die slowly and painfully at the side of the road. you should have thrown it into reverse and finished the job; it's the right thing to do

I hit a cat, pulled over and finished off the poor thing with my car jack at the side of the road. The following day I was washing my car and I found a cat embedded in my front grill.

 

[CptStern]

it's not a cat but close enough

also

 

[Warped]

I hit a cat today. damn thing ran under the middle of the car and got crushed by my back tires. I saw in the rear view mirror it kept moving. Also its the same spot where my dad hit a deer a few years back

 

[CyberPitz]

I swerved on purpose to hit a rabbit standing in the road staring at me. I went back around to see if the bitch was still there, he wasn't. I think it's stalking me to this day.

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

Look in the mirror!

 

[Baserape>]

Jesus Christ! I'm good looking.

I hit a dog once. Was driving back home on one of the narrow country roads close to my uncles house, and this dog darted right out across the street about 5 feet in front of the vehicle. I braked instantly, but there's nothing I could have done to prevent that. He came out only 5 feet in front of me, running completely perpindicular across the road.

I heard him yelp after he got hit... and he retreated into the bushes. I wished so hard that the guy was okay, that at the most he had a broken leg or something.

Really bummed me out tremendously.

 

[CptStern]

broken leg if left untreated means certain death for a dog. not too worry they'll usually gnaw off their own paw/leg once gangrene starts to set in.
