Driving east on westminster hwy in Richmond, by Minoru blvd.
There were cars and busses driving slow for some reason, some stopped. I stopped.
Passenger told me to look at a duck family (big mother duck and like 10 baby ducks crossing the street (middle of westminster highway) in traffic.
Then suddenly a big truck runs over 5 baby ducks and died instantly, a few were injured, and 2 were ok. The mother duck was ok but was traumatized when she went back to look for the babies.
Cars stopped this time but that was a horrible and sad sight.
I wanted to run out of my car to direct/stop traffic but it was too late.
A truck can't stop as fast as a car, but a good truck driver would have been looking far enough ahead to see other cars had stopped and prepared to do the same.
Good truck drivers are a very small minority. Posted via RS Mobile
I saw an animal that looked like a flattened soda can in the middle of the road on marine way. It was still alive and its paw was up as if waving for people to stop. I was the passenger and all I could think about was "shit I wish i could put it out of its misery" fucking sad shit when i see animals like this Posted via RS Mobile

ya my dads avoided a deer or 2 before, but small ducks.. if your going 60 - 70 mph with a full load its time = money in the trucking industry. Faster you deliever the more you get paid cause you can do more loads in 1 month.

The amount of time it would take to stop for ducks is irrelevant for an otherwise productive driver, it's the equivalent of hitting one extra red light. Posted via RS Mobile
just because they are animals doesnt mean we shouldn't be sympathetic. To us they may be food, but think in the mother duck's perspective, to see your babies die in front of you and don't know what to do at all to save them.
At my workplace, one office has a view of a rooftop with a seagull nest. I saw the 2 adult seagulls and 2 baby seagulls today. I'll try to get a pic of them on Monday to change up the mood in here.

I actually saw a duck on highway 1 yesterday.
Was driving in heavy traffic, it was on the far left HOV lane.
It looked like it was just sitting there... it was alive but both its legs got run over.
