Animals and ROADS
You know how vulnerable your pets are when they come into contact with traffic - now please let me point you to a website which will make you think of the other animals who are in danger from the increasing amount of traffic on the roads.
The website I am going to point you towards is based in America, but the thought behind the email which I received from them applies equally to many, many countries.
Hop over to the Defenders Organization to check their 'Watch Out for Wildlife' posting. Large animals can be seriously injured or killed so please take care and slow down where signs are posted warning of animals.
Even if you don't care about the animals... your car, and maybe you, won't come off scot free!
In the UK there are a growing number of accidents involving deer, and they can be quite serious to the car, the occupants, and the poor deer who often appear from nowhere and dash out in front of anything.
Also please spare a thought for the hedgehogs during the spring, summer, and early autumn - and now there are increasing numbers of otters being killed on our roads.
If the only male in an area, or the only female for that matter, is killed the area will be without a breeding pair... please take care.
