This is the wonderful thing I needed to see today.

Lovely and heart-rending. I apologize to every animal I see dead on the highway, because we humans suck.

On the highways around our x mass tree farm in upstate New York, you could see the bodies of critters who had been run down, sometimes on the shoulder of those roads.Often, it was not an accident.They had almost made it across, but the motorist swerved to nail them. (I’ve seen it happen).

Far too many rednecks I’ve met are downright proud to go the extra distance to take out cats, porcupines, woodchucks, their “asshole neighbor’s” dog, and other critters they don’t consider worthy of life.

Replace the timer with a pressure fuse.

And after the photos, what happens then?

I’d expect the buffet is open for the turkey vultures, crows, and others to scavenge, as is natural.
