Yes a horrible thing.... Only Sunday before last I got up really early to go to a local nature reserve and on the way back after such a wonderful morning a baby
Rabbit ran out in front of me and although I didn't hit it, it doubled back across the road and was hit by a car coming the other way, but looking in my rearview I could see it hadn't been killed only its back legs had been badley crushed. I turned back determined to at least put it out of its misery tried to run it over properly but stupid instinctive twitches in my arms that made me swerve around it meant that it took three goes to actually stop it suffering.....
.
Awful thing..... How do you make yourself a harder person? I was so angry with myself for not being strong enough to either get out and break its neck or to cleanly run over it on the first attempt straight away to kill it. Poor little animal why don't mummy
Rabbits tell their babies about roads....
