[QUOTE="TacomaJD, post: 684075, member: 1780"] I want to hear your thoughts on this matter. I see countless posts all the time on Facespace, or hear people in person say how someone ran over their dog or whatever animal and didn't even stop to check on it or try to contact the owner. One douchebag literally said "It should be a felony!" To which I replied informing him of his ignorance. I understand the emotional attachment to pets, but that motherfucker does not have any right away in the road! If your pet wonders aimlessly into the road and gets mashed, that is the owner's fault. I know it seems like someone took your beloved Roofus from you, but the only thing that contributed to that was owner neglect. We have a black lab, stays on a 25' cable leash tied to a tree in the back yard near his house and water/food. He has a 50' diameter to play in while leashed, dry/warm house and plenty shade from trees. Then every evening when the wife and kid get home (while I'm at work), they let him off for hours while they are there to watch him. He normally stays out of the road, but even then we have caught him in the pond across the road. If I'm going about my day and someone's dog suddenly runs out in front of me where I cannot avoid hitting him for my own safety, **** that dog. My life in the 4k lb machine rolling down the road at 50-60mph is much more important than anyone's pet in this world. What would stopping to check on the runover dog do? I ain't carrying it to the vet. I understand the bit of respect played in notifying the owner, but at that same time you may notify them and they lose their **** and become confrontational. I ain't stopping and talking to anyone, that's ridiculous. Half the time I ain't got the time to stop and bullshit with anybody anyway. [/QUOTE]
