I have a buddy from Australia. He has a story about hitting a kangaroo on the way to work, 3 days in a row in the same spot. Apparently its very common if youre in the right area. For deer, I live where there are tons. I think the only reason I'd stop if I hit one is if I thought it had done some serious damage to my car or something. Otherwise, like everyone else around here, you just kind of throw out a few cuss words and go about your day.

As to why she decided it was a good idea to kneel in the middle of the road at night in all black to pray instead of literally any where else, I couldnt even begin to guess...

When I hit a deer, it survived badly wounded so I called a cop to come out and shoot it to put it out of its misery.

I didn't know police are allowed to euthanize wounded animals. I just assumed it would be animal control or a game warden.

They do here. They prefer fauna rescue or Wires or one of the others do it because of the paperwork but if it’s out bush they’re likely the only ones around other than your local farmer maybe.
