The way this kind of animal murder is normalized for drivers is beyond disturbing. Imagine a cyclist who came upon some birds blocking the cycle path, pulled out a pocket knife, and started stabbing them so they could get through 20 seconds faster.
It's the same psychopathic "might makes right" mentality that makes people turn a blind eye to the needless, systemic, unfathomable horrors of animal agriculture.
I'm sorry, but what?!
Do you know of people that intentionally kill animals with their cars? I've never once hard of this. That's serial killer shit.
No, 99.99% of roadkill is accidental.
They unfortunately do.

You've never seen animals flattened way onto the shoulder, well outside the lines or in the middle of the lane where the car should have gone right over it?
