Straight Murder

What the hell is wrong with the wildlife around here?

So far I've killed three mice, about 8 birds, and this morning I killed my second rabbit.

The rabbits here have a nasty habit or lining right up with your wheel. Personally, I'm not going to swerve to miss a small, apparently retarded mammal, so lined up with my wheel is where they stay till I basically straight up murder there asses. Twice (cause I have two wheels on each side). On the plus side, It does make for tenderized road kill, and I' sure the dogs appreciate that, till they get hit in the middle of eating it.

The birds were a real surprise, seeing that I never hit one till I moved here. Now, seven months later, I'm average a little better than a bird a month. And it's not like they can't get out of the way - they decide they are going to out run me instead of flying to the side or up. While I'm doing 70mph. In a straight line. I'd like to say it's only sparrows that I'm removing from the gene pool, but it's not - I've tagged ravens and doves as well, and the other day damn near got a turkey vulture.

Someone asked me the other day if I felt bad for my road kills. The answer is not really, I just kinda look at my self as natural selection at work - some thing has to remove the lesser examples, and it might as well be me, or more specifically my Yaris.
