Thought I couldnt be shocked by our species disregard for life in general. But today I was behind a guy who steered and aimed his truck to smash a turtle crossing the road. I caught up to his big pickup at the stop light and just shook my head as he laughed. Ill shrug it off but seriously wtf.

(17,345 posts)There was a young black snake (I think) across the road. I saw it was alive, but i knew it wouldn't be for long, too many idiots like the one who killed the turtle in the area. I turned around and did my darnedest to make it get off the road. Instead of slithering away, it coiled and struck at the car. I had a plastic sign, so I got that out and tried to make it go, but it wouldn't. It wasn't a good place to stay stopped for long, so I gave up, turned around again, and tried a little longer to make it get going. Amazingly, no cars came either way while I was trying to save the snake. I gave up and went on to walk the dog. When I came back the same way, I was so happy to see there was no dead snake, and no evidence it had got hit.
I'm sorry you had to witness such wanton destruction and needless cruelty.
