thank you. i wish i were wealthy enough to personally donate the $75,000 they need...

that amount of money would be what? one shopping trip for paris hilton? one bentley lease and matching shiny suits for prince? donald trump's dinner for five?

sorry. down on humankind today, i am

I wish I also could do more but all we can do is try our best. The internet is a powerful tool lets see if we all can make it work for good. I will email and post the information right now 2 all that I know maybe we will get them the amount they need by the end of the week if we all do this. hug


thank you hug there is hope when we try to make change

True, but even when I'm just doing 50 km/h I don't stand a chance if a deer suddenly jumps out from the ditch or behind a bush. That's why I think wildlife fence can do wonders in certain heavily populated places, at least we've used it with a good deal of success over here. The wildlife should still have lots of areas where they can cross the roads though, and they should be well marked with warning signs. I really don't want the wildlife to be fenced in, then they could die if the run out of food or if there's another threat to the population in that area.

I do hear what you're saying about the humans moving the animals around and concentrating them in certain spots though. What is the best way of dealing with that, in your opinion?

I really don't know of a really effective solution and I'm not even gonna pretend that I do. If I did, I'd be busting my ass trying to make some changes.

I'm sorry, I know it's not funny.


It's true though. With the amount of people who's cars get totaled, you'd think they'd learn. shrug

It's not that they jump out, but they DO run out a lot, and if you catch them in your head lite, they just STAND there. I've had to slam my brakes on plenty of times for them.

Run, jump, whatever. I just know from my own experience how fast it can happen, and sometimes you don't have time to slam the brakes.

i was once driving in a remote area of wisconsin and five deer bolted out of the woods, ran alongside the road and (although i was the only car around for miles), managed to intersect with my path in such a way that they literally hurled themselves into my way. falloff

it was actually funny, because it really really looked as though they had been waiting until a car came along to do just that.

five seconds either way and they would have had the entire road to themselves but no.... they just had to jump in front of me.

Fucking with them is a problem...period.

I've never hit anything and I think a lot of it has to do with me being very aware. I can spot movement in a ditch very quickly, or the reflection of eyes. I've had many things dart in front of me but I always saw them early enough.

Watch me hit something the next time I drive. rolleyes

There was this little old man that used to donate a lot of money to the wildlife centre where I worked. I used to talk to him when he would stop by. He told me that he had never hit anything his entire life and he was in his 80s. He swore by this little whistle thingy that he put on the hood of his car.

Oh come on, be realistic! smile

Even if everybody was super-aware super-women like you, there will always be moments when you can't get a proper overview of the area in front of you, or when you're fooled by a shadow, or when you're a bit tired and not quite as attentive, and chances are an animal will pick that exact moment to jump out. In fact, that happens very often.

I agree that we shouldn't meddle with nature, but putting up wildlife fence here and there is a very unintrusive and effective measure. It beats the hell out of shouldering a rifle and heading off to some murdering at least. shrug

I've had to swerve to missy little bunnys and skunks and all that kinda stuff, and usually miss, but I have hit stuff.

This reminds me of like, one of the saddest things I ever saw.

This one time we were coming home from Lowes, and there was like this big hold up in traffic, along a road that is not trafficy. Well here, everyone was stopped for this poor possum DRAGGING itself across the road. It was all bloody, I don't know if it got hit, ot in a fite with another animal or what, but it was HEARTBREAKING, someone should have ran the poor guy over to put him out of his misery. sad

Keeping animals confined to certain areas has a huge ecological impact over time.

Of course, you can't avoid certain situations. My point is that most car/animal hits can be avoided.

Anybody who thinks this is good just ain't right


By Matt Heikkila
America's unpopular and unnecessary predator war continues
It’s late May in Alaska. A pack of wolves rises from its afternoon nap and heads out behind the alpha male on a hunt. The pups follow for a few hundred feet but soon realize their short legs cannot keep up and return to the den. A half-hour into the hunt the pack notices a pair of porcupine caribou: stragglers. Just then, a prop airplane swoops overhead. The passenger points his assault rifle out the window and easily drops two wolves. He fires again, wounding the alpha male. The plane turns around and lands near the injured leader. The shooter gets out and kills him with a final bullet.

I honestly don't know anything about that whistle thing. Oddly enough, I neer bothered to look into it. lol

Ya man, rabbits are the WORST for darting out. The are very, very hard to see and so fast.

I'll never understand how people hit porcupines though. They are so incredibly slow so they aren't running out in front of you or anything like that.

And those poor things explode when you hit them.

No less than twice in this discussion have I specifically pointed out that they shouldn't be confined to certain areas. neutral

Wildlife fence just protects certain stretches of road where the danger is unusally high, that's all.

Of course, you can't avoid certain situations. My point is that most car/animal hits can be avoided.


By driving slower? Maybe in part, but you need a combination of measures to achieve real results, in my opinion. shrug

Yes, I know you have said that a couple of times but you also said confining them would be "a very unintrusive and effective measure". It's actually very intrusive.

But as I said, I don't have the answers. I just know what doesn't work.

Driving somewhat slower or at least the speed limit in areas that are known to be heavy wildlife areas (particularly at night) and paying attention will achieve the best results.

I mean, you should be doing all that anyway for your own safety. In general (speaking from working as an auto claims adjuster for a few years) people do not pay attention as they drive.

No I didn't. lol

I never said anything about confining them. I don't consider shielding off certain stretches of road "confining" of any wildlife. If it was, then the roads themselves and all other signs of human civilization should be considered confining too. The important thing is that the wildlife can move from one area to the next, and they can do that even though there's wildlife fence in place here and there.

But as I said, I don't have the answers. I just know what doesn't work.

I pay plenty of attention, and I try to drive as slowly as possible, but if you want me to go at the speed of a horse and cart then I'd much rather be driving a horse and cart. tease

Seriously, everything above 30 km/h is a potentially dangerous speed if you're driving at night or during other bad conditions, but I can't drive that slowly if I'm going to for example our country place in Norway which is a ten hour drive if you keep the speed limit. Then it would take me three days to get there instead of one! I'm not saying my time is worth more than an animals life, but since there are other measures available to us, I vote for using them as well.

As a peace offering though, can I let you know that I think your new avatar is mighty attractive? batting eyes

we have such a lovely planet, filled with intelligent life such as elephants and dolphins and crows and bears and wolves and cats and dogs... the list is too long for this page. and the more we learn about other animals the more we come to realize that they have social orders, lanugages, tool-making skills, etc.

what could be cooler than sharing a planet with so many diverse and beautiful species?

wouldn't it be nice of we could treat them with compassion?

As for hitting wildlife, people need to slow the fuck down and be cognisant of their surroundings. Just doing that would save lives, both animal and human.

Sorry, but it is confining them. In order to make a fence effective it needs to be miles and miles and miles long, otherwise they will just cross down the road a bit. Your agrument is a fairly good one and is actually used in some provinces in Canada, such as NB, but it's not without it's flaws. That's all I am saying.

Driving over 30km/h is not dangerous. rolleyes

Driving over 80km/h on a two lane highway is, especially at night.

The "other measures" you talk about are ones that will not be inconvenient to humans but very inconvenient to wildlife.

Oh well, humans on top always. That's just the way it is.

Anyway, I've said all I wanna say on this.

Save the wolves people!

Yes, but on the parts where it's in place, it's almost 100% effective and that's not too shabby.

Hence why I'm saying there should be a combination of measures. shrug

Driving over 30km/h is not dangerous. rolleyes

Driving over 80km/h on a two lane highway is, especially at night.


So where exactly do you draw the line?

I stand by my word that everything over 30 can be dangerous, considering that it takes a deer little more than a second to jump onto the road. There is no way in hell you have time to react to that if you're doing 50 or 60 and barely even if you're doing 30. If you really want to save animal lives, then protect them against the road completely at the parts where it's most dangerous.

The "other measures" you talk about are ones that will not be inconvenient to humans but very inconvenient to wildlife.


confuse When I said other measures I was referring mainly to your slow speed suggestion, but also whatever else can be done in terms of clearing up on the side of the road for better visibilty etc. I don't think that's very inconvenient to wildlife. I want to protect them as much as you do, but you have to keep reasonable perspective on things. It would be silly to stop all human transportation for the sake of "convenience" for wildlife. It's more important that they can stay alive, and that there are ways for them to get from point A to point B.

Oh well, humans on top always. That's just the way it is.

Anyway, I've said all I wanna say on this.

Save the wolves people!


Wow. confused
