Have you ever hit an animal? Birds dont count.

This morning on my way to work, I had a suicide bunny dart out in front of my car. I let out a god awful scream because I couldnt believe what had just happened. I didnt stop because I didnt want to see a twitching bunny. I love bunnies. I collect the damn things.

I swear, it came out of nowhere. I am one of those drivers who stop for animals that are in the road. I have never killed anything more than a bird. They dont count. Ive never even killed a field mouse. I stop or slow down.

I heard the 'thump' 'thump' and felt a bump under my tire. I had hoped that I just rolled it around a little bit and it would run away and lead a happy life, eating grass and reproducing. I called Eric during my lunch and told him what had happened. He reassured me that the bunny was ok. On my drive home, I found the bunny. He wasnt flat and squished....well, not his body at least.

I cried a tear for the bunny. Seriously, I did.

I cant believe I killed a bunny. *sigh*

Im going to keep telling myself that he was on some kind of suicide mission. Maybe he was dared by the other bunnies. Maybe he was the bunny all the other kids picked on. Maybe, it wasnt suicide at all, but just a freak accident. Whatever the case, I felt bad and I will forever be known as a bunny killer....

Peace Out....

A rodent darted out...bad timing on his (its?) part.

Back in my motorcycle days, I had a sheep run right in front of me..no way to stop. I certainly didn't squish it but it was never the less just as expired.

I still say he was sacrificing himself.

He couldn't find a job, had a wife and ten thousand little bunnies to support. He had an insurance policy, and needed a way to cash it in...

*hugs*

*LOL* A suicide terrorist bunny tried to stop you from going to your important job, shrieking "die infidel, die", but he forgot that you and your car were bigger and stronger :D

Lord honey, don't give the little fella another thought...for all we know he might have had bunny cancer and you saved him from a slow and painful death. Maybe one of the items on his "bunny bucket list" was to "freak the shit out of someone driving down the road" hehe
