A very sad day.

Here is a link to a cat I came across on holiday. Dehydrated_Cat!

1.Cats are vermin.
2.There was an Ad for some cat food that used to say "Cats instinctively know what's good for them" - clearly not true given the number that get mangled.

Hit a young deer once. Fortunately, considering what its leg was like, it was killed outright.

I hit a young deer once, when I was on holiday in Italy. It was about the size of an adult labrador and made a right mess of the front of the car. By the time I had turned around and returned to where I had hit it, a passing local had it in the back of his car and was taking it home for his dinner. He was kind enough to return my headlight though.

How much was it to fix the car?

Saw a cat being run over this morning. Three cars in front of me, the driver had no chance to act, the cat ran out of a row of gardens chasing a large rodent, straight under the wheels. Not killed instantly.

I keep relaying it in my head; 3 seconds that seem to last for hours.

Can't stop seeing replays.

Think I'll have a drink or two.

some exits are graceful others or not, while the process of life for us continues the horrors so remain, but sleep easy the poor creature is no longer suffering.

Jesus Minestrone. You saw a man torture a dog and you didn't do anything???!!! Whats wrong with you??? A video like that must be worth at least £250 on Harry Hill.

Call yourself a contactor! Pah.

I did see a dog getting hit my a bus last year, it got put down the next day.

I was sitting playing the xbox at 6 in the morning, sat up for the night and had a few brews. Heard a bang and a yelp outside, opened the blind and there is this dog on the middle of the road. I'm like WTF, then the owner comes across the road and tries to pick it up and it's like a massive Japanese fighting dog, then the dog starts mauling him, pretty badly. Now this is in a very plush area of Glasgow, which you may say is like being the best dressed man in Bulgaria, but not an area you expect a man in a sheepskin coat to be mauled by a fighting dog (you have probably got me down to about 3 streets now).

So I think the guy is attacking the dog and get my shoes on and run out and confront the guy, "Oi, you hurting that dog?" Then he runs up the side street, arm soaked in blood and it is me and the dog in the middle of the street, dog cannot move, it is looking at me and I am looking at it.

I go back inside to call the cops, then some women turns up and get bitten a few times as I look out the window, transpires it was his wife.

So in the end I call the police, the bus driver turns up 10 minutes later "Oh I had to turn at the roundabout".

In the end I had to get this thing in to a police van with blanket of mine over its head while it is trying to bite me and the police officer.

Heard the guy was in hospital with blood poisoning for a week. Dog broke its spine and was put down. I never got my blanket back, I stole it from Vietnamese Airlines.

At least you did something good.

A guy I once worked with in Paddington came back a bit shaken one lunchtime and said he'd just seen a dog get its front paws cut off on the underground escalator.

Some people are so stupid - There are signs everywhere saying "dogs must be carried on the escalator".

I ran over a fox one night many many years ago.

Stopped the car to get out and have a look, and some of its innards were spewn all over the road with the rest hanging out of its burst stomach.

Decided that there wasn't really much I could do at 2am, and the injuries looked too abysmal. I reasoned that leaving it to die would be inhumane (apart from hitting it first of course, which I could not avoid).

In the abscence of a shovel in the boot with which to stove its head in, I resorted to plan B.

Got in the car, reversed back over it, feeling a sickening crunch as I did so.

Got out, had a look, and it was still alive.

Back in the car, drive forward again, bumpity bump, and check again.

Still alive.

Back in car, reverse back, then forward, then back then forward again.

Checked the ameoba-like mess and decided job was a good u'n, and drove home.

Was a bit low for a day or so, understandibly.

Know somebody whose car as written off in a deer collision but apart from a slight crack in the number plate it did nothing at all to mine.

I once got a lift from a guy with a strange curved dent in the windscreen pillar. I said jokingly it looked like somebody hit it with their head and wished I hadn't when it turned out they had.
