I wish I could get sad over a dead cat, but the fact is when you've seen far worse happen to real people, its hard mustering up that feeling for a cat. | ||

I realize that witnessing such a thing happening first hand feels different, but you might want to think about the animals that die when you eat meat. Unless you are a vegetarian of course. Btw, I'm not a vegetarian, I just think it's irrational for people to feel so much pity watching an animal die first hand when millions are butchered for our pleasure every year. If you kill animals for their meat then you are killing for a purpose. If an animal dies on the road, it is completely unnecessary. If you respect life in general then you avoid unnecessary killing. Of course the definition of necessary and unnecessay killing is subject for a lot of discussions. And even if you are a vegetarian you are killing some animals one way or another. Just no cattle etc. | ||

Empathy should be a natural emotion you feel, not something you have to force. I too have seen fucked up things done to people, yet I can still feel compassion for a needless death, because I can realize it was needless. | ||

I'm sorry to hear about the kitty. It's too bad that it didn't die instantly. On the subject, I've seen people actually swerve to try and hit cats when they run out into the road. What the hell is wrong with people? That could be some kid's pet and he's going to be crying himself to sleep wondering why kitty didn't come home. It's kind of gross, but I've long been in the habit of picking up cats that I find dead on the highway (I keep garbage bags and such in my car) and burying them out in the bush. I'm starting my own little Pet Cemetary - can't wait til they start strutting around in zombie form. | ||

Some woman was freaking out trying to move the cat off the road. I tried to help her and she became terrified after a while so I left for school. (I ended up being late but got an A- in the end /irrelevant) Worst I've seen re: roadkill was something the size of a dog but gibbed by heavy vehicles like dumptrucks and mobile cranes, looked like something out of a horror movie/half-life and worst thing was that I was cycling with a friend along that very same road next to speeding heavy trucks. Although I was sad in the abovementioned case when I was cycling here the only thing I felt was pure terror until I cleared that road. Just for the record, I'm not vegetarian, although I firmly believe in treating animals with care and respect. | ||

I take a left at an intersection and there are 2 cars stopped in the middle of the road with nothing in front of them, at first I was pissed because I was in a hurry but then I saw a litttttttttllllllleeeeeeeeee deer walk out into the next lane. It was just born and soooooooooo cute :D. The oncoming cars stopped as well and it stood in the road for a few seconds and looked at us while we waited. Eventually it took off into the woods and I realized that I wanted a video or at least a picture but it was too late | ||

I hope you at least tried to run your bike over it and make a few more splashes? | ||

So I went to the other lane (which was actually going the other direction) and as I was nearing the dog he decided to go back the way he came. I hit the brake hards and as I started to lose control of the car I lifted my foot off the brakes and braced for impact. I looked in the mirror window and saw the dog stay motionless as he hit the floor. That haunted me for about two weeks, but I tried everything. Oh, I'm a vegetarian btw, so it was even harder for me. I have tears in my eyes as I post this. Damnit. | ||

One makes fun of the "gore" mess in someones story while another goes around with a plastic bag looking for dead animals that he drags to his own "pet cemetery" to give them a proper burial. Pretty similar I guess. | ||

When the cat runs free on the road then you can drive on it and no need to stop. Stupid cat owners sets them free. Fucking don't get a cat if you haven't got enough space for it inside. We can imagine all we want, but no human died, and the cat died. Also, it is my business if someone kills an animal, especially with a collar, I'd chase the driver and flag him down. Also, because a cat is on the road you're allowed to drive over it? You need some help, mental help, thats not how things work. Also, leaving a cat inside? Lol, you're way too cruel. Cats are freaking awesome, they know their owners and they know how to get around, let them be outside. | ||
