I've never heard of anyone stopping for a squirrel, that PETA jerk was an ass.
Hahaha FYL xD those PETA peeps are like damn ninjas, watching every single thing you do
well I think that you could have at least moved the body out of the road. but the PETA dude is overreacting. poor you
Yes, let's all go pick up every wild, dead animal in the road with zero regard for any disease they could be carrying.
if you were hit by a car, I don't think you would want to be left in the street.
A human and a squirrel getting run over are by far two very different situations.. In my books at least, I'm sure most would agree.
it's animal. it has a heart and a brain. it feels. have a heart, why don't you
It doesn't feel anymore.
Do you know WHY dead animals get moved off the road? WHY people make a big deal over it? Because those animals are large and could cause damage to other cars/people. For example, a deer or a human body would need to be moved cause it would suck financially to run over that. A squirrel however...no car damage. There is no reason to pull over and risk your own life running into traffic to move a tiny squirrel carcass.
well there is a reason. people could stop being so selfish and actually take care of the earth and animals. the only reason that squirrel died is because of OUR cars.
what
except that squirrel can't think like a human being, and frankly it was relatively painless compared to, say, being taken by rabies. Killing a human is murder, killing a squirrel is not. And before you pipe up, shut the **** up beforehand- I'm a human and I care for humans above every single thing else. Otherwise you're not worth belonging to **** sapiens so kill yourself.
without animals we'd all die so I think you should shut the **** up.
#276 Attention! This is not a drill! A PETA member is in the building. Everyone grab your clubs and butcher knives.
WTF were you going to do if you stopped? that person is an idiot
PETA = people for the ethical treatment of animals. Maybe you should write to PETA state what happened and suggest that they fund an animal safety training program... I know the schools here teach 3-5 year olds how to cross the street safely. Unless PETA is calling animals stupid. :)
You extinguished the life of an innocent squirrel just so that you wouldn't be late for work.. What if the squirrel was late for work? Would you appreciate him running you over??
Exactly why I think OP deserves it. I know I may be unfair but I can't take it when I hear about an animal's death, no matter what the circumstance was. It's just the way I am.
wow you're both morons. it was an accident. op didn't run over the squirrel to get to work on time. idiots.
Hmm.. I see. So if you ran over a human, you wouldn't stop, just because you were late for work?
hey guys... your stupid. that is all. sure feel bad for it, but its not like it doesnt happen all the time. it was a ******* accident
Before you call anyone stupid, please learn the difference between "your" and "you're". Thank you.
No, I still have to disagree. While I despise the Chinese men who skin dogs and cats alive for fur, I don't blame this guy for not stopping for a goddamn squirrel. If it was a dog, or a cat - whom of which could belong to someone, then yes, stop. Squirrel? Keeps the wheels moving. They're wild with brains no bigger than the tip of your thumb.
soo niaa, you think animals should be treated exactly like people?
Zitho...not just the chinese, its SO ignorant when ppl say that. nations from all over the world contribute to the black market by trading animal furs and who knows what else. yes even the united states. just fyi there...
To be honest, I was just stirring, initially, but I think this has started an interesting debate. I mean, I don't quite have my license yet, and I'm not exactly a HUGE lover of animals, but I think I could be fairly sure in saying that I would stop for a squirrel. Sure, it wouldn't belong to anyone, and sure, it's not against any human-created laws, and sure, it's probably not a particularly intelligent creature, but I would still feel awful, personally. That squirrel might've had a wife and kids! For those of you who still disagree, I recommend you watch Milo and Otis.
I just think that animals shouldn't be treated like garbage just cause they're animals. Plus as someone else pointed out, you wouldn't slam the brakes, all you have to do is pull over safely and check the animal. Stop exaggerating a scenario to prove your point.
But why check the animal? If it's dead, there's nothing he can do for it because it's DEAD. If it's not, there's still nothing he can do because I have a hunch, and again this is just a hunch, that his knowledge of squirrel anatomy and medical treatment is lacking, just as it is for 99.99% of the rest of the people in the world. Seriously, get over it. It was an accident. I just do not understand at all what you expect OP to have done about it.
Honestly, this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Yes, let's stop in the middle of the road to check on a potentially dead animal, who more than likely has some sort of disease you can contract from it. Not to mention that it's a squirrel, you see hundreds of those little ******* running around. Think logically. And don't even start with the human bullshit. Running over a person is far different than an animal. You would stop if you hit a person because it's illegal and not only would you go to jail for murder, but also for hit and run. Do you pull over for every dead animal you see in the road? No? I didn't think so. I think making it to work on time to ensure you keep a job and have money to support yourself is far more important than stopping to see a dead squirrel, that was dumb enough to be in front of you're moving vehicle.
RedPill, the selfish traditional human mindset regarding the importance of animals is exemplified by your post. An "Actual Human"! What if an "actual human" got hit by a car!?! And of course you would pull over safely and calmly, no brakeslamming would be necessary. Rorix, you'd check the animal to see if it was still alive, and, I'm not sure about in the US or wherever you're from, but I know that here in Australia there are places where injured wildlife can be taken for healing/rehabilitation. It just seems apparent from the majority of replies to my initial comment that most people have double standards when it comes to accidentally killing a human or an animal. "Oh, it's not against the law to run over a squirrel, so that makes it okay." It's not against the law for me to cheat on my girlfriend, but do I do it anyway? No. Perhaps slightly irrelevant, in any case, lol. Oh and I truly feel sympathy for the above poster. What a sad life you must live, sir/madam.
Yeah, I know this is off topic, but nobody "skins animals alive". not to be a dick or sound gruesome, but that would be pretty damn hard. I hunt, an ive skinned a few deer, an its hard enough to do if theyre dead. cant imagine a live animal would let you skin it. i know thats not the point, but i hate when animal rights nuts say shit like skinned alive, viciously slaughtered, etc. thats not even remotely true. also before you guys bitch, i do eat every bit of the animals i kill , from fish to turkeys to deer. please dont start a flame war either about hunting. you will lose.
You got a problem with Disney movies?? Some of the greatest films of our time have been Disney movies.
This just once again proves that PETA is a terrorist organization, and there for PETA'S members are terrorists. They must be prosecuted for their crimes.
i really hope that you're joking
I agree not with the terrorist part but ppl who keys cars like that should be prosecuted
The department of homeland security classifies PETA as an organization with ties to terrorism. the disturbed leader Ingrid Newkirk has been jailed on many occasions for breaking and entering and releasing lab animals (some of which had diseases). when the government finally gets their shit together I really hope they disband PETA and jail all the morons in it.

Stupid PETA. Were they expecting you to give it a funeral?
