may I say shit?

Someone just hit a moose. They hit it, broke its legs, then left it lying there. It tried to get up but it couldn't and it took what seemed like forever for the troopers to come and take care of him. DON'T FUCKING DRIVE AND DO ANYTHING ELSE! ESPECIALLY IF YOU LIVE AROUND WILDLIFE!

I hope the freak that hit that moose IN FRICKING BROAD DAYLIGHT ON THE MAIN DRAG OF MY TOWN burns.

Edit: the boom of a gun just echoed through this place. It was horrible. Right now, I hate people. I hope that moose goes to heaven and dances.

UPDATE: i just saw its calf walk into the woods alone. It was stiff legged with shock and fear. It is small but I will pray it is old enough to survive. Pray for it, okay? I don't want to be the only one dying by inches here. Pray for that calf. -RV

2. I'm crying too. They winter in my yard. They are noble animals and

they don't deserve crap like this. I wish I could describe how sad I am right now.

3. I just hate hearing shit like this

4. I felt my heart skip when I saw the calf. I called 911 and we don't have a rescue. I

just don't like people right now. Hugs, honey.

5. That poor moose and her calf

I do hope they catch the person. There must be quite a lot of damage to the car. Just awful and will keep the baby in my thoughts.

6. I am so very sorry.

I won't go into some of the things I have witnessed which still haunt me to this day, both in my real life --and on television, as well.

We don't have any moose here in Raleigh, of course, but wild animals, including our black bear are kind of favored by the population, and the veterinarian school (NC State U)is always on the alert for such situations. The veterinarians would have probably sent out a posse of vet students to look for that calf. They make house calls to pick up injured turtles, after all. Also started and maintain the program to restore our native red wolves in the coastal region. Now they're telling people not to shoot the alligator that was somehow released in our watershed. They want to tranquilize and remove it. Last year traffic slowed to let some Canada geese cross the street; then some horrible human got impatient and ran his car right into them. People got his license number, his face was plastered all over the news, and then he was fined and billed for the vet and rehab care.

roguevalley, I don't know if these positive stories help in anyway. I am just hoping someone who is able in the area where you live will hopefully come across that poor baby and help it in some way. I just feel for you so much and yes, I am sending white light and prayers.

8. They do, honey. I hug you back.

9. Geese crossing the street

Is a major problem on one of the streets I travel a lot. Best solution is did someone to get out of their car and shoo them across the street.
Geese are major pests around here ("big feathered shit machines&quot who have ruined lakes in parks. But no excuse to deliberately run them over

7. OMG I'll be crying for days after reading this

I knew I should never have read this post. God damn distracted drivers!

10. I believe there is a kindness in nature that cares for all its creatures, helps them through.

If I didn't believe that, life would be much too painful.
We can't carry all of the sadness, we're not built for that.

11. i think i believe you. i called and my bro in law called. they don't rescue after july. i hope

With you that good intent sent to it is enough

12. I've had experiences that led me to this belief. When the pain either physical or emotional was

terrifying or excruciating, something from inside and all around me
like an invisible silent pillow, slowing down time, removing all
pain and fear. So I've come to presume it's that way for all of
us, when it needs to be. Life Itself is compassionate and kind.
