That was it. :(

well if anything there's hope for it being in a better place?

Flies are annoying as hell, ants are unsanitary, and roaches are the bug equivalent to mice.

@MrAboo lol.. So then you see the dark side of raccoons too? They like any and all creature serve some good but at the end of the day can be naughty 😈😂

Lol, thanks, you think it wanted to attack my truck?

Sorry, nothing worse than hurting something by accident.
Had you [i]meant[/i] to do it, you wouldn't feel shit.
You didn't, so you feel like crap.

I once spent an otherwise beautiful Sunday morning crying because I accidentally ran over a squirrel that darted in front of my car. I felt especially sad because it was a female and might have had young in its nest, and I feared it's babies would now starve. It's awful when things like this happen, and I really feel for you. I hope you feel better soon--there was really nothing you could do under these circumstances.

@greenmountaingal yes that thought crossed my mind too, what if it had a den with babies too?

@lulaluboo I’ve noticed a lot of dead raccoons this year on the road. I just hate killing anything if I’m not going to eat it
@MrAboo see, youve seen alot on the road dead because theres too many! Jk, idk. And that makes sense alot of people feel that way and its admirable.

At least it wasn’t a human 💀
MrAboo · 36-40, M
@SW-User there’s that, atleast. I’d have to kill my self if it were.
Nothing you can do about animal suicide, but yes, it does make you feel bad.

Like a cat trying to...

No need to apologize, I do wonder if this year more raccoons are getting hit by cars. Population control. I’ve noticed more bodies this year.
@MrAboo Every year that goes by, there are more wild animals in more urban areas. I've been in my current home 25 years and until about 8 years ago, we had NO foxes. Now we have nearly a dozen...probably more (it's hard to count them only once). They have no natural enemies since dogs are not allowed to run free anymore in urban areas.

I lived in my “town” of 1200, 4 years now. I’ve never killed an animal other than a turtle and lord knows how many bugs. The town isn’t really expanding but ebbs and flows with visitors with the seasons. Not sure where I was going with this

At least it wasn’t a deer. I almost ran into a buck yesterday, it would have damaged my car.
@SW-User This is a really bad time of year for deer running across roads! and yes, they can destroy a car, and injure the occupants!

Tough break...I did that to a jack rabbit.
