Siam, that was one of the most disgusting things I've ever read.
MAJOR kudos to your friend for her perseverance (if not her common sense!).
Steviesun, I'd have done exactly the same thing. And, yea, needless death makes me ill, too.
I saw a baby bluejay just miss getting squashed by a truck in front of me yesterday. I was too close to stop right there, but turned around at the very next street. Didn't matter, by the time I got back, he'd been hit by someone else. Made me shake for a long time.
About two weeks ago, the biggest doggone turtle I've ever seen in my life was just coming onto the breakdown lane of a major highway here. Again, I was going too fast to stop, and on the Pike, there isn't any turning around unless you use an off ramp, and loop back onto an on ramp going the other way. So I called the state police. I pray they got him off the road in time, but I'll never know. The darn thing had to be at least two feet across. I mean, I saw it from three lanes over and there was air beneath it's belly and the road. My first thought, actually, was that it was a monitor lizard!
Sometimes having a sensitive heart sucks.
