I once found a baby rabbit with miximatosis, our dog was chasing it.
The poor little thing was too vulnerable to leave for foxes and such to come and tear it apart so my ex and his dad went out to shoot it to put it out of it's misery :(
Once hit a cat in a car with a carbon fibre front splitter. There wasn't much left am afraid.
Also had a seagull fly into the front grill of a car. Those things are huge and will make a ruddy mess of your front end, I think the gull came off worse though.
I ran over a cat once. It didn't die immediately, but had to be euthanised later on ~ I was in floods of tears, but luckily the lady owner was very understanding (as well as upset). She said he often ran out in front of cars and she was waiting for this day to come!
I narrowly missed a Jack Russell the other day ~ he had a lead on, but ran out into the busy road. His owner was nowhere to be seen, and luckily he ran under my 4x4 safely...phew.
I have also ran over a freshly squashed fox (iin the dark, I might add). Thank goodness it was already dead, but it made a huge mess of my grill & windscreen.
A 'funny' story ... I was talking to a guy in town and he was telling me how, ''the day before yesterday, someone ran over my cat, the front half was crawling on it's own, the back half just dragged behind'', I looked at him and said, '' was it black and white?''.
Yes ... I squidged his cat.
t would have been more humane to smack it in the face with ashovel, eh Athley?
