Max Veteran Posted March 22, 2006 Veteran Share Posted March 22, 2006 I feel awful. I just ran over a bunny which ran out in front of me on my way home from my girlfriends :( I saw the rabbit and it was directly in the centre of the road when it went *THUNK* under my car. I wanted to stop and just see if it was okay but it was probably best that I didn't :( RIP Bunny - I'm sorry :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/444926-i-ran-over-a-rabbit/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrimoTurbo Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 That?s simply horrible, what did it ever do to you? Are you going to the authorities? Maybe you can post some pictures, so people can see the result.

Rob2687 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Poor bunny :( Road kill happens all the time though..nothing you need to go to the authorities over unless you want to call a city worker to scrape the corpse off the road.

black.ops Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I did the same thing to a deer once. I kinda felt bad too. Are you serious? Wouldn't a deer like break through your windshield? The Department of Liscensing here says not to swerve or stop for animals on the road, but to go over them insteda. :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/444926-i-ran-over-a-rabbit/#findComment-587333920 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borbus Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 It probably didn't even know what hit it. Rabbits can suffer much worse deaths eg. Myxomatosis. I once stepped on a crab. I heard and felt this terrible crunching sound, then I lifted up my foot and the crab walked off half broken. I think they can repair themselves though. Or is that lobsters that can do that?

PrimoTurbo Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 You should turn yourself in, pay the fine and deal with it. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/444926-i-ran-over-a-rabbit/#findComment-587333928 Share on other sites More sharing options...
icecaveman Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Don't worry, they don't have problem breeding. Be thankful it wasn't a sheep or even a dear as they can cause some serious damage and the dear often don't die instantly so you would need to help it or leave it suffer if you want to visit the flames when you die. WTF do you need to pay a fine for hitting a rabbit? What about birds that might fly in your way?

What would you rather do, hit the rabbit in the road or swerve into an oncoming vehicle?

Beastage Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Hey who said road kills are ok? I don't believe this is the case but I'm pretty sure 90% of the road kills are avoidable Like a nice cat that used to come eat in my garden, she got killed in a 25kph zone because some teenaged prick didn't bother following the law poor animals...

PrimoTurbo Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I don?t where you are from but shotguns aren?t allowed in this country, I don?t think you can own one.

Borbus Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 You should turn yourself in, pay the fine and deal with it. Hold on, you think that there's a fine for killing a rabbit? You do know that people go out shooting hundreds of rabbits in one night don't you?

TaiCrunch Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Are you serious? Wouldn't a deer like break through your windshield? Nah, it was a small doe and I drive a big pickup, so all it did was break off part of my grill. You should turn yourself in, pay the fine and deal with it. What city are you living in that makes you pay a fine for killing a rabbit?

PrimoTurbo Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Check your local laws there are definitely laws against cruelty to animals, including blasting rabbits with shotguns. Otherwise people can just kill pets with no restrictions.

Otherwise people can just kill pets with no restrictions. Take a look at this http://www.hsus.org/legislation_laws/citiz...tate_stand.html What? First, it was an accident. Second, it wasn't cruel. As I said above rabbits can suffer much worse deaths by a disease called myxomatosis. When a rabbit gets run over it's so instant it wouldn't even know what happened.
