Re: what do YOU do if you find an injured animal?

Depends what the animal is,

Dogs - you should inform the police, don't know why, possibly licensing laws.
Anything else - the local vet, if you know who it is. In my dealings, not that I have hit any animals, only found them, the local vet is usually very helpfull.

Also try -
RSPCA - again in my dealings they are not too helpfull. (If it involves dogs they usually point you to the Police or Dog Warden). Unofficially I have had them advise me to shoot the animal.
Local wildlife rescues - usually very helpfull.
