They are rats with bushy tails. I mean if he was gunning for them its a bit sadistic, but Im not stopping for a squirrel

Stop with the killing, bro.


I said I felt bad about the dogs and squirrels, baw.

In 1 case (I think it was my first confirmed dog kill), it was suicide on the dog's part. One of the cat's (my most recent non-squirrel kill) was a suicide, too.

Bonus points if you hit it. Do not swerve. Do not let off. Roads have been around much longer than that squirrel. Natural selection.

Stop for dogs, people, etc, hit cats, coons, possums, armadillos with impunity. If it’s a head shot, scrape em up and make a roux.

Nothing different.

If my kids are in the car they yell "Don't do it" or "suicide by Jeep".

I've found that if you cant come to a stop or slow down drastically you have a much better chance of hitting them trying to swerve than just going as you were. Cats too. Dogs i will stop in the middle of a highway to make sure I dont hit.

Only a true piece of shite doesnt slow down if it is possible to. Back in drivers ed I had a squirrel run in front of me and the instructor yelled at me for stopping. I kept doing it anyways until he had crossed. Dude has probably murdered someone by now

Well. Depends on my speed and surroundings I guess. I have less than zero guilt running over an impulsive, indecisive squirrel.

Depends on how far away or fast I'm going. I'm not going to swerve and cause an accident but I'll slow down if possible.

You should be pretty aware of people behind you and oncoming traffic. I sure hope it doesn't take you 10 minutes for every driving decision.

That said, I just motor on along. I don't try to avoid butterflies either.
