I DON'T advocate this, quite 
but I was told a tale by an enormous, affable stoner I worked with at a summer job that he had once observed someone ahead of him on the road swerve to *hit* a turtle, killing it. He said he followed the guy home, jerked him out of his car and decked him, on the turtle's behalf.
I still think of that story sometimes and smile a bit.
Today (or yesterday?) on the way to work, I noticed the oncoming lane had stopped, backing up traffic for a half-dozen cars or so. A gangly guy in shorts and a T-shirt was trying -- and gradually succeeding -- to scoot a huge (and very much alive and highly uncooperative) soft-shelled turtle off the roadway to safety in the wooded area nearby, with his flip-flopped foot.
Most people are decent, and many go out of their way to help animals. A few, unfortunately, are just the opposite.
