As for wildlife, again I'd like to say I'd risk my life, even on a motorway, to try to save something, but only if it doesn't also increase the risk to others. We can't have it all ways, more's the pity. However, I'll always try to help a creature (or even a plant, as with the early marsh orchid growing on a grass verge about to be mowed). I hate even disturbing things, hence my question on disturbing fungi on another thread. I prefer to see things in situ, doing what they are supposed to be doing.
Fortunately I've not been in a vehicle which has been involved in anything serious to wildlife often. One rabbit, a house sparrow and a few pheasants between Thetford and Bury St Edmunds. Anyone who has been on that road will know what it's like, they are suicidal birds there. |
You should run a mile - and so should I these days except I can't run anymore even if my life depended on it
To be serious its more helpful in the long run if you stay alive another day to help something else than get hurt or die or kill someone else - but in the heat of an incident you never know what will happen or who will do what for good or bad ..........
