I'm A Very Sad Guy
On the way home from dinner in Old Sacramento tonight, a cat ran out in front of our car and I hit it - twice. That was horrible enough, but I will never forget looking in the side view mirror to see it writhing around, the reflection of my brakelights in its eyes. I couldn't bring myself to go back and make sure it was dead, I just sat and felt helpless before resigning to myself that nothing could be done and proceeding home...

Oh, Brad....I'm sorry. I've only ever hit one animal and it was a chipmunk. It just gave me a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. No fun!

In HS, I hit a rabbit. As I was the driver, I got to decide, contrary to my friends' pleading, that we were not stopping to save it. I'm with you, when there's nothing you can do, there's nothing you can do.

Laura, I too, hit a rabbit in HS. After hearing its head clunk underneath my truck, I saw it wiggling helplessly in the middle of the street. My friend forced me to turn around and drive over its head to put it out of its misery. It's never a fun ordeal.

Wow... that's amazing. The SAME thing happened to me tonight on my way home from work. Except that it wasn't a cat and I missed it.
