We hit a frickin deer!

[Lageris89]

The deer most likely hit the floor, breaking numerous bones and rupturing internal organs, ran off in a state of shock and later died from the wounds :)

You have any idea how many deer there are in Illinois? They have absolutely no predators besides us, and they reproduce like no other. People practically pay people to get hunting licenses to get rid of em. We need to keep the wildlife in the wild and off our roads.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Actually, I don't have an idea of the amount of deers in Illinois, and to be honest, I don't really care. There's a difference between giving an animal a straight headshot AKA instead dead, and hitting it with a car, making it fly trough America. And if you want to keep the wildlife in the wild, and of your road, secure your roads better.

 

 

 

I love your thincking, lets ban cars, or spends trillions putting 30 foot high (yes dear can jump that high) fences on ALL roads

Any idea how many Chinese people live in China? Man, they've got NO predators; maybe we should all go and kill a few Chinese people.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't have a problem with people hitting deer with cars (unless they do it deliberately, of course)--I think I've been in a car when it hit a deer, once, but we weren't going fast enough to make it go 20 feet into the air...--I just don't think that that was good reasoning.

[my_pet_worm]

a deers only a deer, a humans only a human, eventually humns will kill eachother to extinction

[vladmoney]

You know here in Ohio, if you hit a deer with a car and kill it, it is your deer. So you can pretty much go hunting for deer with your car here in ohio.

[Scruffy5389]

dark_ice:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Obviusly, no one thinks that you should drive off the road and kill yourself crashing into a telephone pole just to save a deer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And quite frankly, if I was driving with a bunch of my friends and we launched a deer twenty feet in the air, we would be kind of amused by it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But you do have to consider that it probably suffered some pretty bad injuries, and it is now trying to survive with broken bones and punctured organs. True, it is just a deer, and I'm not sayin run into the woods to try and help it. But at least realize that it is another living thing and you should be a little sympathetic. It feels pain like you do and wants to survive like you do, even if it doesn't think like you do.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So yeah, I can understand laughing when it flies through the air like that. I would just drive away. But it was alive, and now its dying a slow and painful death. We can't do anythin about it, so don't feel guilty or have a moment of silence or any bull like that. But at least recognize that it's a life being lost, painfully.

Hah Im now considered a 'scumbag' by at least 1 person on tipit :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You remind me of kids who would torture animals just to get a laugh out of watching it suffer.

Haha...Ya thats how it is down here in Louisiana. Some of the redneck people down south would actually go back and get the deer and eat it if they killed it :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rick: I dont torture animals jus for the heck of it, but when this happened I couldnt help but laugh. But if thats what I remind of, thats ok too, I guess.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Scruffy: Ya I get what your saying, and after a bit of laughing we started discussing if we thought it lived or not. But we came to the conclusion that it broke its neck on the outside mirror, dieing instantly.

[pedm]

Ohhh few, from reading the first page it looked like nobody cared about the deer except me... glad that changed on the 2nd and 3rd pages.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm not mad at you for hitting it, but don't laugh at it. Thats just wrong.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PDM

[Mercifull]

Well you were coming back from church so I would have assumed you had at least some moral values. Or are you one of those that only goes for the sake of going. Laughing at the loss of a life no matter the cause is wrong. Animals are "gods" creatures too and their lives do not deserve to be laughed at. I don't think he'd be very happy with you.

Secure roads better ? What are you on ? You can't. In every country, these things happen. In this case, you're just simply not used to it. Where I am, it happens all the time and I see dead deers every day. Realize that not everyone lives the same way you do. There's a world out there. Oh and by the way, people don't try to hit the deers. Dark_ice shouldn't be laughing like he is, but quit the melodramatic posts, will you ?

I love your thincking, lets ban cars, or spends trillions putting 30 foot high (yes dear can jump that high) fences on ALL roads

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You forgot the roll eyes. What a useless reply of you, of course we donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t have to ban cars. What do you think I am, a complete idiot? Fences on EVERY road? No, of course not, but you can place fences on the roads with higher death rates for animals, also it would be safer for the people driving their cars, donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t you think?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

oh btw...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Whitetail deer can make a standing jump as high as 10'. However, in most instances, deer will not risk jumping fences over 8' in height.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Information is from this site. Physical barriers are pretty expensive though. It might make a difference where you get them, and in what ammount you get them though.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And to strengthen my point refering to safety:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Dramatic increase in automobile and airplane collisions with deer.

 

 

 

More than 1 million vehicles collide with deer each year, causing over 100 human deaths, and more than 1 billion in repair costs. Accidents peak during hunting and mating season.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Information is from the same site.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ya, the driver actually did what he could to try and miss it. But he wasnt gonna swerve off the road and flip the van, seriously injuring all the passengers just to save a stupid deer :roll:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And Im pretty sure deer are alot different to humans. So its pretty idiotic to compare the two.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hah Im now considered a 'scumbag' by at least 1 person on tipit :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ItÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s very good that the driver did everything he could to try and miss it, and thatÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s not what this is about. Of course you can have an accident with a deer, and of course you donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t have to kill yourself and your friends in the van youÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢re driving to prevent the deer from death, but the pathetic part is that you laugh over the death of an animal, and then you hide yourself behind the fact that deerÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s are over-populated in your state. ItÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s a living creature, you donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t laugh when you kill a living creature. You donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t laugh when your cat gets ran over by a truck, do you? Also I never made the comparison of a human and a deer, so I hope you care to explain what point youÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢re bringing across? And I donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t think youÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢re a scumbag, IÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll deny you the pleasure of that. :wink:

I'm not on about anything, Rob stated that we should keep the wildlife in the wild and off our roads, securing the roads seems to be a better solution than killing every creature that get on the road, don't you agree? And I agree there's a world out there, and if you realize there's a world out there, you must realize that there are animals in that world too, and they arn't out there to get killed by people driving cars. And my posts aren't "melodramatic". If you can't come up with anything better, just shut your pie-hole, will you.

[Eric2203]

Oh yeah because it's financially viable to put fences along the side of every road maybe ? Get real.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You're totally missing the point. Nobody's out there to kill them and no animal jumps in front of cars on purpose. But it happens ! There really isn't that much that can be done about it. You make it sound as if it's done on purpose. That's melodramatic.

Do you even read what I type, not to speak about the links I provide you with. I never said he did it on purpose (though it is a little bit stupid to automaticly think the deer will get of the road). I know it happens, but it should be prevented, and done in other ways. I'm not going to type it all out, read the information about the deer population on the site I gave you. They should be killed on purpose, but not on this way. I even said it was expensive to place the fences, and it can't be done everywhere, I also said it doesn't have to be EVERYWHERE. Do me and others a favour and read something before you start bla bla'ing.

How come no one gets angry when someone hits a squirrel?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wonder...

Really :lol: .... :?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hmmm.....Ive been thinking about the verse that goes along somethin like...All things equal in the eyes of God..or something like that. Maybe I was wrong for laughing, but I was freaked out and that was the first thing that I did. Forgive me :oops:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But that dont mean Im gonna become some crazy animal rights activist cause I dont really care. Just gonna look at things a lil different. At least try to. Thx for helping learn a valuable life lesson. I think!!! :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Grr...hate admitting my faults.

Roadkill makes people sad whether its a deer or a squirrel or even a toad. Feelin it go under the wheels... But when it's impossible to avoid killin somethin small like that, the only thing to do is drive on, so we don't get angry.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And dark ice, admitting when you're wrong has to be one of the hardest things to do, I hate doin it myself :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So everyone else, lay off :wink:

You'd only get this once in a lifetime!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hurry while his self-confidence last!

[unknownmasterofnothing]

Ehh i'll never drive a car, i'd probably hit a few people by accident.

[snyper_freak]

 

You are offcially the most evil person on tip it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I tip my hat to you sir.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The whole thing sounded soo fun.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Would be more fun if you guys hit a moose instead and it smashes into the wind shield, instantly killing all you guys. :wink:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

im just jking. :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i hit a moose once nothing happen to it but are car was totaled

 

 

 

:roll:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

try hitting a kangaroo.. a freind of mine's dad hit one and it wrote off his z4.. new car at that, and the kangaroo was fine, of course lol

[Nathaninch]

Try hitting a moose... it's like hitting a brick wall!

[KnightLite]

I saw a cop chasing a drunk driver, must have been doin 50 MPH, and an Elk jumped out in front of the car and collided.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The cop car was totalled, the hood was about an inch long and looked like an accordian, and the Elk actually limped away before it was shot down by animal people

What part don't you understand ? You're posting because it's such a big deal to you that a deer got hit. I'm trying to tell you it just happens. A lot. Every day. Just because you're not used to it, doens't mean it doesn't happen a lot. It's not occasional. It's so common it doesn't even deserve a thread here to be honest. I also didn't think it was funny, but quit making such a big deal out of it. And yes, you are making a big deal out of it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

By thw way, it's twice you tell me to shut up in various fashions. Come up with something better, because that's not gonna work.

Please pick one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'll start with the end of your post. I told you to shut up, about the "melodramatic" part, because it wasn't correct. And I asked you, very friendly, to shut up if you don't want to take the time to read my post and the information given in that same post.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well, now that's done I hope we can drop that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It does happen every day, I'll believe that, and I think I can conclude that too out of the statistics given on the internet site (they're statistics, so it's only what's registred, it can be even more); 100 deaths, and a lot of money for car repairs. If I'm used to it or not, is irrelevant, i't happens, it causes accidents with people and animals, there should be done something about it. It doesn't matter if it's done by fences, or by controlling the deer population (I recon this is the best option, since the deer population is causing other, and in the long run more permanent problems to the world), or a combination of those two. And I guess we just have a different opinion, I think human and animal lives are a big deal, apparantly you disagree. It seems best if we drop it, and if you want to continue, feel free to drop me a pm!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'd also like to say I'm not mad at Dark_Ice, and no disrespect to him, I just didn't find this funny, and thought I'd talk about it. I will not beat him to pulp when I see him walking around the street, don't think I'll ever see him walking around the street though, America and Holland are pretty far away from each other.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Eric2203]

Friendly ? No you weren't...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ah come on, I've never said I didn't value human/animal life. I'm just telling you there isn't much that can be done about it. Fences don't solve anything. Deers can jump cars. You can make higher fences, but that's more difficult to build/service. And that's the next thing: service. Fences have to be maintained once in a while. Who's gonna pay for that ? It's not practical at all.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One thing that's useful and that I've seen done would be to put bridges over highways at least. Plus in countries where you have to pay to be on them, there's no way it can't be done.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The bottomline being that if it costs less to fix a car than to put fences up all over the world, then it's never gonna happen. And yes it would be a good thing, but it's just not practical. A lot of people before us have thought about it and decided to put up with the costs of hitting deers. I doubt that's gonna change.
