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.

Yes, I have heard of it. Mother duck and babies crossing the road, my mate and some other cars waiting... Some absolute psycho decided they're taking too long...

You've never seen animals flattened way onto the shoulder, well outside the lines or in the middle of the lane where the car should have gone right over it?
