        i cannot put into words how much i despise people who don't see anything wrong with crushing animals with their car, it's so fucking gross and IMO should disqualify them from handling a heavy vehicle.

        It's no different than shooting animals with a gun (proper or airsoft or whatever), which i think any sensible person would agree should bar you from owning guns.

        Not sure I agree with the second take. Anyone that eats meat should be ethically required to take an animals life they will eat at some point so they directly know what it means to eat meat. If someone is uncomfortable with the thought of taking an animals life, why are they eating meat and paying someone else to do their dirty work?

        I eat meat, but probably not as much as most people. I have butchered livestock and hunted in the past, taking an animals life is not a pleasant thing to do.

            I think there's quite a big difference between senselessly running over an animal and shooting one with a gun. I mean hunting for food and animal population control are kinda necessary in a lot of situations, while running over an animal isn't.

              It took me coming to the comments to notice that the word in the headline was chicken, not children. I was about to go OFF about those cops.

                Sometimes, animals just don't understand how cars works. I was going to work one morning, and a jackrabbit was in my lane...it ran away, but in a way that would ensure it would get crushed if I sped up. It was only after about quarter of an mile that it decided to leave my lane...only to u-turn back into it.

                THUMP

                Sometimes, life is fleeting, without reason.

                      I have butchered livestock

                      I'm sorry you had to do that. It sounds traumatic.

                      Animals, especially mammals, have complex inner lives, families, and friends. They experience emotion. They play.

                      I don't understand how people can look at that and be ok with killing it, and then not think the same thing about the stupider parts of humanity.

                      I guess people are just less delicious or something. No idea how else it's justified.

                          Not exactly traumatic, but certainly not pleasant to look into somethings eyes and take it's life. A lot of men pretend it's a fun experience to be macho, but I think most people do not enjoy taking an animals life.

                              You would prefer that animals are raised in horrendous conditions without ever seeing sunlight only to be slaughtered over shooting an animal that has grown up in it's natural habitat?

                              Like, vegetarians I can get, because they argue that we shouldn't be eating meat at all. Arguing that industrial farming is better for animal welfare than hunting is just absurd though.

                                The way this kind of animal murder is normalized for drivers is beyond disturbing. Imagine a cyclist who came upon some birds blocking the cycle path, pulled out a pocket knife, and started stabbing them so they could get through 20 seconds faster.

                                It's the same psychopathic "might makes right" mentality that makes people turn a blind eye to the needless, systemic, unfathomable horrors of animal agriculture.

                                I'm sorry, but what?!

                                Do you know of people that intentionally kill animals with their cars? I've never once hard of this. That's serial killer shit.

                                No, 99.99% of roadkill is accidental.

                                    And then you wonder, "Why was the chicken crossing the road in the first place?"

                                      When I was a kid there was a turtle on a bridge, my mom stopped so I could move it off the bridge. Some asshole swerved to hit it while I was walking towards it. I picked up a rock and threw it at his car I was so mad.

                                      This is what people are missing here. She was stopped, he whipped around her and crushed the bird because he was an impatient dick. Fuck that guy.

                                      Sorry to hear about the turtle. I've had the same thing happen to me while cycling. Maybe they all need bear mace.

                                        I got the feeling from the article that the impatient driver didn't kill the chicken on purpose but rather accidentally, but the article doesn't really give enough info about that

                                        Framing things as accidents exonerate the type of neglect that has lethal consequences. It's time to retire the term in the context of traffic violence.
