poor little squirrel was probably hunting for food for his family......the family that he'll never see again thanks to...um.....I'm sure it was just an accident.

Yeah I really tried,I didn't actually squash it or anything.But i smacked it and that was enough to kill it

I'm a roadkill magnet for some reason. I've hit a bunch of animals, usually with them darting out at me and I have no time to react (usually at night where they suddenly appear and scare the crap out of me). I've hit a deer (that one slammed into the side of my car), a coyote, two cats, numerous squirrels, a skunk, a bird or two, a frog and a duck. I wasn't aiming for any of them, honest! I usually feel sick to the stomach afterwards, it's not fun, especially with the bigger animals.

lol! holy crap,I hope I never find myself anywhere near you while you're driving

I knew this guy back in the 80's ....

One morning him and his wife was driving to the diner for breakfast and he swirved to avoid hitting a rabbit ....... The car went off the road and they hit a tree.
He was killed instantly .......... to save a rabbit.

It might be an automatic reaction to try to avoiding hitting an animal, but remember - worse things can happen if you don't.

wow that sucks man.But yeah you're right.

Funny thing is that when I was in my teens i use to get into huge discussions with my mother when she use to swirve for an animal and now I find myself doing the same thing all the time.I guess it is a natural reaction

Luckily I've never hit any people, or even dogs. But one of the cats I hit happened in front of some kids, the damn thing just darted out literally right in front of me. I felt reeeeally bad about that, but was too ashamed to stop. I wouldn't even know what I would've said to them anyway. "Uhh, geez kids, I'm really sorry you had to see that. Ummm, was he yours?"

I think you need to see this pic....it explains what REALLY happened here...

Have you ever thought that this squirrel may have been having a real rough day? Heck, maybe even a real rough life. His wife left him, his 50 kids just laugh at him, his buddy stole all his nuts, and he was laid off from his job down at the park. He just couldnt hack it anymore, seen you driving along, and decided to just end the pain by throwing himself under your tire.
The kids were looking on in astonishment because they never heard a squirrel speak before, let alone yell out "Goodbye cruel world" while doing a high fly dive for your front tire.
Not your fault in anyway....just another suicidal critter putting an end to his misery filled life!


(Sorry...dont mean to seem unfeeling here, but being a farm kid who has run over or shot his fair share of vermin, I dont see this as a big deal.)

Damien...you messed up big time my friend.

You killed an animal...and didn't take it home to cook it?

That's a sin right there.

Damien, just remember.....

We have a deal with the pigeons, not the squirrels.

"We had a deal!"

You took the George right outta my mouth!
