[QUOTE=Kirsten]Sandy, I can only second this!! When I'm driving to work, I see dead animals almost every day: raccoons, foxes, cats, squirrels, rabbits, hedgehogs, martens... It's heartbreaking every time and it often brings tears to my eyes. I mourn each and every one of these little lost souls, precious lives being wasted because of the achievements of modern (human) life.

A couple of years ago, the car right before me hit a cat, and the driver didn't even stop. The cat made it to the pavement, and I stopped to look after her, but there was nothing I could do but staying with her until she passed over. It was just traumatizing and I cried for days. The picture of this dying cat will haunt me for the rest of my life and I really hope that it will never happen to me, and that I'll never be responsible for the death of one of these creatures.

I'm sorry you saw a cat get hit. You did what I would do. I would have stayed with the cat. I'm still upset seeing a liziard being smashed to bits. I actually went out to the street if could put it to the side of the road but too late. I'm still upset with opossum gagging and dieing. Yesterday I cried for the opossum and still upset. I hate it when people smash snails. I love all creatures.
