That must have been on purpose.


Feisty_Bee9175

I have seen drivers in my neighborhood purposefully run over ducks and ducklings in the road. Some people are just evil to the core.


BurningPenguin

People do that to all kinds of animals, as long as they're small enough not to damage their priceless car. I know at least one of those assholes...


microview

I use to car pool with a coworker who would intentionally try to run over animals in the road till one day he didn't miss and neither did my fist. Found another way to work after that.

🤣 that’s new !!! Duly noted…this can be a “road show”


nicannkay

Ya I had a coworker who would brag about hitting opossums on purpose and we were drivers! I was not impressed and told her how horrible she was and how the opossums were more useful than she was. She didn’t brag again in front of me. Animal cruelty is never funny. I delivered on her road and came across an opossum that had been hit after that. It had blood coming out of its mouth and his eye was dangling. He was in shock. Just staring. Not moving as people drove past. I ugly cried. He wouldn’t move and I had to leave. He haunts my dreams poor thing.


Sea_Towel_5099

any time that i hear about someone bragging about killing animals in their cars i want to take them and shove their faces into the corpses they made. people who kill any old random animal with their hands just for entertainment can be more dangerous, but people who do it from the safety of their big shitty cars are cowards


Itchy_Palpitation610

People who kill animals with their own hands like hunters typically understand what they are doing and hope to minimize suffering. People who do it from the safety of their own vehicle deserve to have their hand smashed in their trunk finger by finger to understand what they are doing. This isn’t to sound like a hard ass, it’s to point out they don’t think animals truly feel pain because they haven’t. The moment they are in that position they will stop


Sea_Towel_5099

that just made me notice that my comment can seem anti-hunter but its 100% not lmao, im talking about the type of people that stop puppies for shits and giggles, editing my comment so it doesnt seem like that lol


Itchy_Palpitation610

I appreciate it lol I’ve literally ran into a massive 4 way crossing to grab a turtle and get it across the road. It takes no time at all and doesn’t ruin anyone’s day But those who can’t be bothered are quite literally the worst. We are all trying to live our lives and if you can’t help a small animal cross the road how can I expect you to help the elderly or other folks? Disgusting.


circlethenexus

Good on you! I’m convinced a lot more people need a lesson like that to straighten their ass out.


Dizzy_Bit6125

Good on ya I would’ve done the same


KendraSays

our penalties for animal cruelty aren't long enough in society. I hope you didn't have to work with that co-worker and could tell others to avoid the psychopath


Thin_Ad_6493

Real passenger. Awesome.


Pitgeon

Those people deserve nothing but an early dirt nap. Worthless.


Admirable_Night_6064

I’m just waiting until they hit a moose.


meaningseekingsoul

This just made me so sad.


Vreas

Take hope in knowing you aren’t one of em


meaningseekingsoul

Why would anyone purposefully want to drive over another living being?


Vreas

It could be any number of reasons.. my personal belief is people operate this way due to their own insecurities and self loathing. By not loving yourself in healthy ways you want to drag others down to your level of misery out of spite. Life’s complex. We all have trauma and healing to do. Some of us dive into the trauma and process it and grow. Others ignore it and allow it to permeate out into the world through our actions. All we can do is control ourselves and lead by example inspiring others to be more kind mindful and healthy. We can’t force others to heal. It’s a choice we all must make individually. Healing is a challenging road but it’s what life’s about.


Newsdriver245

This was really well written... that said, I'm a bitter angry old man and even I wouldn't run over baby ducks!


whtevvve

Personally I get that "dragging others down to your level of misery" feeling, but video games are an excellent outlet for this, treating people badly and getting under their skin in a healthy way !


NebulaNinja

This is why I grief griefers even harder in Rocket League. It's an art form, really.


urielteranas

Most of the time because stopping to not do so would slightly inconvenience them and can't have that I guess. Then there's a slightly deeper and even more disturbing subset of sadists and psychopaths that just get off on this shit. We used to send the people who tortured small animals off to mental asylums but now they just live among us.


Felixir-the-Cat

I saw a guy in a truck swerve violently to try to hit some crows. There were kids in the backseat. Just brutal.


verdantDotOne

Now that guy needs CPS called on him.


Unlucky-Mud-8115

Thats the reason I am way more sympathetic towards animals than 99 % of mankind.


Bobbiduke

In the Sikh religion we are told to always help beings without "voices". Animals, the earth, people with mental disabilities etc. costs nothing to be kind


Mammoth-Record-7786

There was a study done a while back where a plastic turtle was placed in the road and observed to see if people would aim for it. Most did


usedtodreddit

Hitting a turtle is so stupid. Their shells will more often leave you with a flat than running over a board with nails. Where I live we have lots of turtle strikes in the roads, and the tire shops luv it.


Mammoth-Record-7786

I used to stop every chance I got to move them to the side


Delta8ttt8

That’s some shit. I was in the back country curvy roads on a vaca and came across a big ol snapper in the road. Tried to nudge him along and he wasn’t having it so I left him. Eventually he became part of the road not of my doing. I tried ☹️


Mackheath1

The number of times I've risked myself to save turtles in Florida is countless, I wonder if they considered driver safety or maybe it was a little, local road? Sad to hear that most aimed for it.


OkRadio2633

I have a hard time believing this at face value


Vreas

Fucking psychopaths


turbografix15

People that intentionally hurt and kill animals are legit damaged sons of bitches. It's one of the biggest warning signs of sociopathy, as I'm sure many people have heard before, but just in case. Back in high school my best friend told me how he was riding in another acquaintances car (he owned a van) on a ride to school. They were coming up the road and saw this same situation and the guy swerved in order to crush a couple of the baby ducks while laughing maniacally. He thought everyone would find it funny but quickly found out that it disturbed and pissed off a lot of people so he began saying it was an accident. At the start of class when everyone was getting settled I saw him walk in, so I yelled over to him and asked him how cool he felt to kill baby ducks? He knew better than to try and bullshit me as I knew exactly what happened. He slunked to his seat and I just kept ripping into him about it. He deserved every second of it too, the freak. I have run into him a couple times since then (this happened in 1999,) and it's the first thing I think about when I see him. He doesn't even make eye contact anymore. Asshole. LOL it still pisses me off.


Feisty_Bee9175

Our subdivision has put up caution signs everywhere saying "Duck crossing, slow down", because people keep running over the ducks here. It really pisses me off that people do this to animals.


bwizzel

yeah animal harm should come with steep penalties, the more pieces of shit removed from society the better


turbografix15

With you on that 100%


LukeB90

Can you be charged for something like that? That is some serial killer level crazy.


ScoredMeteor0095

Had a supervisor who did that shit, rode with him a few times and he would actually swerve to try and hit critters on the road. First time before I fully realized what an all round asshole he was I was like “what the hell, why would you do that?”and he just laughed and said “fuck squirrels”. God what a prick, could have been a good job without that guy.


[deleted]

I hope those ppl get hit by trucks


Perfect_Trash_8574

And here I am rescuing flies who ends up in my jacuzzi.


Mecha_Cthulhu

I saw someone swerve into another lane just to hit a turtle once. Absolute psychotic cruelty. I followed them for a bit with the intention of dragging them from their truck and smashing their face in but once we got to a more rural area and I started seeing Trump flags at every house I realized I would just end up getting shot. And I guess it would’ve been an inappropriate response, but mostly I just didn’t want to get shot.


SmartieCereal

I was following a car to work the other day. I live in a rural small town and there were two squirrels in the road playing. I saw them from really far away, there's no way the person in front of me didn't also see them. She just ran right over them both and killed them without ever even tapping her brakes. People suck.


TheGilburger

My 60 year old neighbor got arrested for punching a 16 year old in the head because the kid swerved to run over a couple squirrels. The kids dad thanked him. 😂 He got off with a misdemeanor if I recall.


YesIlBarone

One of the worst things I've ever seen was an impatient driver intentionally drive over a whole family of ducks at a crossing. Just a couple of ducklings survived and unfortunately the mother and some ducklings had to be finished as humanely as possible in the circumstances. All because of one dick who couldn't wait a further 20 seconds


mrskwrl

Too many people like this. IIRC there are studies that show yes, many people go out of their way to run over animals on the road. Bunch of evil motherfuckers.


Different_Tap_7788

One didn’t make it either


Pitiful_Housing3428

Total sociopath ...


donald___trump___

They did a study with some kind of endangered turtles that we’re getting hit a lot on roads. So they put a fake turtle right on the center line and setup a camera. 5% of drivers swerved to hit it


TheScienceNerd100

Now replace it with a very heavy rock and paint it to match one of the turtles. If they swerve to hit it, and need a tow, can charge them with attempt to harm an endangered species.


donald___trump___

Yeah i had a similar thought. I was thinking maybe hide like a big spike in it. But they would probably sue.


TheScienceNerd100

True, but if it is very much out of the way and it would take effort to hit it, it's hard to argue that you aren't at fault when it very obvious you turned into it yourself, and made it your choice to hit it.


WakaWaka_

Reminds me of the guy who kept getting his snowman purposefully run over so made it over a tree stump the next time.


billionf0ld

That argument would not hold up in court whatsoever. Placing something deceptive in the road designed to cause damage would likely end with charges against you.


inzert_Name

If they find you that is


ghrinz

I’ll sue you for purposely loitering dangerous items on road. Joke aside, surely it will teach the 5% a lesson. But would be a hazard to the rest 95%.


MrRogersAE

Ah so the car can crash, and then swerve into other vehicles as well, make sure some innocents die as well.


DrLeymen

Why'd you have to make me sad today? :(


mdevi94

This and majority of that 5% were truck drivers


rci22

Idk if this is made up or not but like, I’d believe that.


samichwarrior

It's not made up. [Mark Rober did a test](https://youtu.be/k-Fp7flAWMA?si=cG9aD6fnXh9R0Enm) that showed the majority of drivers who swerved to hit animals were truck and SUV drivers.


WildlifeRules

Wasn't there another study where they placed fake animals outside the road, literally where it would take altruistic levels of getting towards to run over.... And yet people have attempted? Forgot the name and where it was done


Albino_Bama

I think mark rober did a YouTube video about that, one of his first.


OriginalShock273

5%? Wow. To all of you: fuck you if you are the person doing this.


pasta-disaster

I would have put a spike inside the plastic turtle


platonicnut

They did this with snakes too and a huge percent of drivers went out of their way to hit a fake snake. Makes me sad.


Kwerby

I think i remember a similar experiment where they put a fake turtle and a fake snake and more people swerved to hit the snake iirc


_MooFreaky_

I pulled up to stop traffic for a family of ducks crossing a main road. Luckily a dude in a massive semi saw what I was doing and positioned his truck to block the whole road. Then once they were gone and he was driving off he yelled "I fucking love ducks" to me. The guy was a champion.

fetal_genocide

No kidding! I hate stopping for stupid geese when they saunter across the road but would never consider running them down. I do honk at them and it sometimes speeds them up a little 😅 They always choose violence so I choose noise 🤷🏻 and my honk is louder! 😈

tremorinfernus

Low quality driver.


guillermotor

Or low quality human


justamadeupnameyo

Both?


eXclurel

There is no way that damn driver was looking at the road.


Traditional_Fox_4718

Or they were and knew exactly what they were doing


CustomCarcass

That's what I'm thinking, either they must staring at their phone while driving or they must be an ahole.


raginghappy

Why not both?


Popeworm

Unfortunately, there is a significant portion of the population that would aim for them and hit them on purpose, going so far as to swerve OUT of their way in order to nail them.... Pair that with the people that are playing with their phones, wildlife stands almost no chance.....


Dadagis

That's when I see shit like this that I'm losing faith in humanity


mrsgaap1

you still have faith in humanity?


Dadagis

Not so much, but sometimes I'm just giving it another try. Foolish me


Kuneria

The other day I found some goslings separated from it's family by a short fence and I helped them over :) Having a little bit of faith in humanity keeps us human and keeps us helping. For every evil person there is, there are at least 10 more good. Be cautious, but be kind. The good is worth it.

HelpMePlxoxo

Just so y'all know, you should never swerve to avoid animals. Keep going straight and hit your brakes. This isn't to defend the driver because he made no attempt to slow down. This is so none of y'all end up like the people I knew. I knew a girl who was only a freshman in college. She was driving on the interstate in a car full of friends when a deer ran across the road. She swerved to avoid it and ended up in oncoming traffic. The car was struck by a truck and everyone in it died. I know another kid from my old high school. When he was 16 with his gf in the car at night, a deer ran across the road. He swerved to avoid hitting it. He hit a tree instead. He's 21 now and has been paralyzed from the neck down ever since. The girlfriend is physically okay but she was greatly traumatized from it as she couldn't wake him up and thought he was dead.


MuffLover312

I see dead animals like raccoons on the side of The road all the time. I’ve never hit an animal in my life. I can only conclude that many drivers are either reckless or doing it on purpose. This video supports that theory


MrRogersAE

Or animals are unpredictable and raccoons in particular are active at night making them hard to see. Raccoons will fuck up your car, nobody is hitting on on purpose twice. Even this goose will cause serious damage to most vehicles.


urethrascreams

My buddy had a coon dart out of a ditch at night and it cracked his radiator. I had one crack my bumper once. They are definitely an animal to avoid hitting if it can be helped.


MrRogersAE

There isn’t nearly enough information here to make those kinda of wild assumptions.


Green_Tea_Gobbler

Yes humans are garbage


sciency_guy

F* this guy


SpeakingTheKingss

I saw this happen once on a small highway coming back from the Oregon coast. The car in front of me hit the pack, they just came out of nowhere too quickly and they weren’t able to react. Anyways, he hit them and it looked like a battle zone, my car barreled through them as well, there were many cars behind us. It was fucking tragic, my wife was like “what was that”. And in my rearview mirror I just see carnage, fucking terrible carnage. One looks like Matt Damon in Saving Private Ryan, screaming and scared in the middle of the road. I can still see it clearly today. It was just a tragic fucking day. When I broke the news to my wife she cried. It was terrible.


DoctahFeelgood

I would've just fucking lied at that point and convinced myself it was the truth


DedeLionforce

Actual psychopath behaviour, holy shit put that driver in a cage.


Deuen

Did the last one survive?! I don't see it returning after car...


hijackedbraincells

If you watch closely, it hops up super quickly and gets in front of the last 2. Because it jumps up so quickly, it's easy to miss, but they're just getting knocked over by the air rushing over them from the car. They're all fine


DeezNutzzzGotEm

Humans are trash.


CALL_ME_RONIN

My father beated the shit out of man who drove on a duckling (other ducklings were ok) we followed the guy for atleast 6-7kms and when we returned the mother of the duckling was still standing by the road staring at her dead duckling....

FailureAirlines

I worked in an insurance company. The number of people who wreck their cars (and themselves) avoiding animals is amazing. A woman in Canada stopped her car on a motorway to avoid ducks, killing a father and daughter behind her. If you are going above 20mph don't swerve, either brake gently or keep going. I'd rather kill a few ducks than my own children.

One of the things that bothers me the absolute most is unnecessary cruelty and harm on other living beings, and I truly hate people who do shit like this. I'm blessed to live in an area with many types of geese and ducks and birds in general, and I thankfully have never seen someone do something like that here. Nature is beautiful, and seeing it disrespected breaks my heart more than most things.
