Today I hit a dog, 2 squirrels, (sorry Phobic) and a bird on my way to work. I stopped and checked on the dog, but it had already past so I tottered him off into the ditch, didn't even worry about the others. Glad I drive a truck.

    Your truck must generate some kind of animal magnetic karma.......

    I think that it was more along the lines of vehicular assisted suicide, they were just tired of living.

    I've never understood how something that can fly manages to be killed by a vehicle. I've hit two owls coming home after work at night.

    My husband hit a huge buzzard while riding his motorcycle a few months ago. Nothing like buzzard guts, ewww. Luckily, it didn't make him wreck.

    Surprised it didn't knock him off the bike. Must not have been going to fast. Bet it scared the bejebus out of him.

    I agree with the harmonic animal attraction. A couple of weeks ago I hit three tree rats in one day. Two were standing together. I blew my horn and they started to take off, then just stood there. The other one was about 45min later. I just don't get it.

    So is it the economy or unemployment that are driving the animals to end it all.. or do they just not want to wait until 12/21/12 !!!
