*cry*

I'm so unhappy right now.

On the way home from the diner, I hit a bunny whilst driving down White Horse Pike.

I saw him at the last second, swerved to avoid him. But, only avoided him with my front tires. The *thump!* that followed under my back tires almost made me vomit. I screeched to a halt, threw on my hazard lights, and opened my door to look back.

Unmoving dark lump in the middle of my lane.

This is the part where I start crying uncontrollably and shaking.

A couple of cars go by, I'm still crying. And afraid to get out and go look because WHAT IF HE'S STILL ALIVE, BUT ALL FUCKED UP?!

...gah...

I finally get out and get the ice scraper out of my trunk. Stumble 20 yards back to where he's lying and creep slowly closer. No movement. I get right next to him, no movement. I lean down and press my fingers to where you can normally feel bunny pulse. No pulse. No movement.

Cry, cry, and more cry.

I manage to get the scraper under him and take him over to the grass on the side of the road, trying not to look at the entrails in the street. I apologise to him the entire time.

why the fuck did they come out his mouth?! I don't understand this.

I get back into the car and take another ten minutes to calm down.

Someone said to me the other night that they thought bunnies run out into the street like that because of some sick rabbit initiation into bunny gangs.

I'm so retarded. It's just that I turn into a lip-quivering five year old girl when rabbits are involved. :/

poor sweetheart. i am sure bunny forgives you.

Hitting animals is always awful. I remember being in a car when we hit a racoon. Everyone in the car was devestated. You aren't retarded the fact you can feel for a bunny just shows you have a good heart.

A friend of mine hit a possum, once. It was lying on the side of the road,
looking all the world like a dead possum. My friend asked "Is it dead?" And her boyfriend replied, "I don't know, Karen. I think it's just playing possum."

She wasn't too pleased with him over that. ;)

LOL I would imagine not, in fact I wouldn't be supprised if she thwacked him. It's just one of those really sad things that some times happens. It doesn't make it easier all you can do is your best to avoid it but yeah... /chuckle/ playing possum... heh.

oh, i'm so sorry!
we hit a dog once. it was that or we'd hit a bunch of cars. i could probably still cry about it. and we hit a deer once, but i think he turned out better than the van in the end. they can live through it.

i've thought about the entrails thing, too, because i've seen a lot of roadkill. it's probably rather like a toothpaste tube. you probably hit him from the butt end first.

it was also fast enough he probably didn't feel much more than a bit of preasure.

you also know you're a wonderful person if you'd check the pulse and move him away. *hug*

again, i'm so sorry.

why the fuck did they come out his mouth?! I don't understand this.

Skin, that is flesh, has an amazing tensile strength, and on something as small as a rabbit, is likely to hold together. It is, as becky said, something of a tube of toothpaste effect.

In high school I was driving with friends when we ran over a kitten. The driver laughed, and thought it was really funny.

I told him he was a sick fuck, he told me I was a faggot.

Now he is a Marine. Go figure.

I would have kicked him in the fucking teeth. I hate people like that /so/ very much that it rides on being psychopathic.
