Thankfully the driver was caught and is now facing charges.

You can tell a lot about a man by how he treats animals.

Something that still pisses me off some 20 years later: I was behind a pickup truck that deliberately ran over a squirrel in the street.

Yeah, it was "just a squirrel", a "rodent", a "tree rat", but NORMAL people don't do stuff like that.

I say this as one who has hunted and eaten many squirrels. You don't just run over them in the street.

No he wasn’t. Read the article for a change.

Amazing how some of you folks on here are all for people being charged over animal issues and say absolutely nothing about Democrats and the media destroying the economy of the nation and ruining the lives of millions of PEOPLE. Now, THAT is telling.

Fine those ducks for violating social distancing guidelines.

I think the meaning of run over and mowed over need to be addressed.

It seems a car went over the ducks but didn’t mow them down or run them over.

Hang on... Mother flew away and ducklings unhurt?

Maybe the driver was trying to hit them. Or...maybe the driver was trying to straddle them with the tires—missing them? Ducklings can’t fly. They would probably just hug the pavement, so the car would go over them. Mother would probably fly off and certainly would if the driver slowed.

I dunno. Just sayin’.

A lot of people hate Muscovy ducks but I like them, their favorite food is termites and they go crazy trying to snap the termites up when the destructive bugs are in the flight stage streaming out of the ground to mate.

Those must be Trump ducks, the Democrats keep trying to mow him over to no avail.

Hopefully he wasn’t driving a Yugo.

Looks to me like it was intentional. However, there could be other reasons such as distracted driving or some sort of vision issue. With the virus shutdown, people have a lot on their minds and could easily be distracted..

When I was a teen, I had a litter of pups - maybe 12-15 weeks old - come shooting out from between two cars on a curve in town. I slammed on the brakes as hard as I could, and all of them got across the road except one. I heard a thump under my front end, and my heart sank. I was about to open the door to see if it was still alive, when out of the blue it shot out from under my bumper, turned around and started barking furiously at me like, “Slow it down, you dumbass!”, then took off full speed to catch up with the rest of the litter. *whew* I think I was more scared than the pup was.

Do you feel the same way about groundhogs?

They eat brake lines - I’ve had to replace 2 because of them!
