I didn’t see it in the road in my rear view mirror so I hope they made it home.
But yes, I don’t like seeing roadkill. | |||

"badgers are now protected and are breeding out of control their natural habitats are full so they are moving away from the rural environment and into more urban areas to live. As they are not being controlled they die of old age and are not very nimble crossing the road and frequently get caught by cars" They have had protected status for over 50 years | |||

"everyone must know the urban legend about the van driver who ran over a cat and stopped to put it out of it's misery?... No ? Do I want to know?" No. No you don't. As you've already professed to care about the animals, it's a dark and sad tale that needn't spoil this thread! (will inbox the tale if anyone is morbidly interested) | |||

"Anyone else get really sad when they see a dead for or Badger,deer or other? " Yeah I hate it. I've never hit anything on the road and I'm not sure how I'd cope if I did. I even panic if I think I hit a bird. I always slow down for them too like a fool  | |||

Only joking. It can be sad to see them but then their body will sustain other wildlife so it's not all bad.
I think I saw a hare this morning. Not your usual road kill.

But yes, I don’t like seeing roadkill. "I also ran over a rabbit, stupid thing jumped from a hedge straight into my path no time to brake, stopped picked it up, saw it wasn’t mangled in any way, took it to my digs and the landlady cooked it in a rabbit casserole….. and I have to say it was beautiful…. And I’m talking about the mid seventies here. | |||

"Road kill tastes good " It does providing it hasn’t been there too long. Also, people get really abusive if they see you picking it up and putting it in your car. | |||

"In Sweden you had to be careful of Elk. If you hit those, they were so huge and stand so high off the ground that cars would take their legs out and their bodies would go straight through the windscreen. That’s not to mention if they have antlers. " I had a very close shave with an elk there once, I don't know who was more scared | |||

"Anyone else get really sad when they see a dead for or Badger,deer or other? " I somehow hit a bird mid flight on Tuesday but it got wedged in the recess in the bumper where the air intake is, at the side of the front reg plate. Mr KC spotted it the next morning and had to retrieve it bit by bit. That made me very sad
I am the sort of person who avoids squirrels, rabbits and all forms of animal life, if at all possible/safe. | |||

" I've picked up road kill for my dog's. Plenty of times now it doesn't bother me now. I do have a little ritual thing I do which is close their eye's and say thank you. Weird I know just my ways. Haven't had the guts to save any parts for me yet!! | |||

"I ran into an antelope one night, that was really horrible. Antelope in Croydon?!😱" We used to live not far and still have relatives local ISH to the area, there's plenty of deer and badgers plus foxes like any urban area with no pest control are rife.. Saw more foxes in a long weekend than the one we've seen in six years here.. | |||

"Actually the majority of badgers seen dead on the road have died as a result of badger baiting. They are left there, often miles away from where they were killed. That is one reason you see them dead on the side of the road. Dropped off from the passenger side. They do get run over but rarely." Respectfully but that's bollocks | |||

You really think the type of people who go badger baiting after they've done it are so worried about where they've done it that they leave a false trail by carrying the dead badger across to their car and someone sits in the passenger seat for miles and they then throw it out? | |||

"The saddest is the cats, and I don't even like them but the fact that people's pets are on the road 😭 I'd always be petrified if I had one wandering the roads 😳" As a cat lover myself (currently have four) this very much upsets me. Lost one of our youngsters (just sixteen months old) outside the house just over a year ago. Whether he'd been clipped or suffered some sort of medical episode I'm not sure. The only comfort was I was able to bring him home and bury him in the garden with the other past members of my cat family. What I find heartbreaking are the 'Lost Cat'/'Missing Cat' posters you see dotted around. Not knowing would absolutely torture me. At least I didn't have to go through that extreme pain. | |||

Interesting to read people’s reactions to cats, assuming they are all pets. Living in rural Malaysia, I’ve several semi domesticated / now ferrule cats around who (according to locals) were abandoned during Covid; they’re breeding like crazy, who’d have known how quickly cats can reproduce! We all have to check car engines regularly as kittens crawl into engine bays to sleep overnight, I found two curled up on my gearbox yesterday. Unfortunately, there’s plenty of evidence around where people haven’t checked and simply don’t care! Saddens me as a cat lover/owner but many of my neighbours couldn’t give a shit! | |||

"Most astounding roadkill I’ve ever seen was a Gator with its head literally ripped off; I watched while sat on the roadside having a beer and admiring the beauty of this beast when a pick up truck deliberately drove at it. The Floridian guy jumped out all proud of himself, the remnants of the Gator was it literally still stood there, four legs and a tail with no head! If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, live in front of me, I’d never have believed the storyteller. The prick was magnanimous in his murder, I’d have very much enjoyed decapitating him given the chance! " Before or after the gator crossed the rod to the bar??? | |||

"Most of the badgers arnt road kill,they never have blood on them,the urban myth is that the farmers kill them and place them on the roads" The key phrase there is “urban myth”. Why on earth would you go to the trouble of placing a dead badger out on the road, with the inherent risk of being seen/caught when all you would need to do is put the dead badger in a hedge on your own land that no one knows about and in a short time it will have decayed to a skeleton or been eaten by foxes. The none sense that people come up with. | |||

Often the public would report badgers on the road, investigation and the reason for concern in the first place would often show the animal had been killed , prior to its placement. | |||

"Came out one morning 4am saw a very expensive not your normal looking cat dead in the road thought I can leave that there it will get squashed il put in van and take it to a rspca center or somewhere 5pm that night in the shower oh shit the cat. dried dressed drove. rspca lady came over to van picked it up and the cat was as stiff as a poker on viagra .cat was chipped and the owner rung me a couple of days later to thank me for picking it up from the road " Top man. I would like to think if anything happened to one of my cats, someone would have the thought to take it to a vet so at least I could be notified. All mine are chipped, and have collars with name tags engraved with my tel. no. | |||

No one, not even animal welfare groups investigate how a dead badger has died.. Gets reported and eventually the council remove the carcass.. | |||
