8 It's great that the kitteh was saved. But, there is a reason they tell you not to do that. The guy was risking not only his own life, but also the lives of his passengers (his kids?) as well as others out on that freeway.

One thing that sometimes happens is if there is a line of cars, one in front sees the obstacle, and times it to cut over into an adjacent lane without having to slow down too much. But, the next car behind, being screened until the last moment, doesn't have the time to plan a lane change and is going too fast to stop in time. Collides with the stopped car and who knows what happens with that.

Don't stop in the middle of the freeway! You put everyone in danger.

34 From a interview on ESPN, Safety Malcom Jenkins of the PhiladelphiaEagles
, it has nothing to do with this country or the flag or the anthem in itself," he said. "Really it's just to continue to push forward the conversation about social injustice, and that's a range of things from police brutality to wages and job opportunities, education. There's just a lot of things systematically that have been set up in this country since its inception that put minorities, especially African-Americans, at a disadvantage when you talk about quality of life and actually growing in this country.

38 About a year ago, I saw the driver in front of me hit a squirrel. The thing was still alive and squirming in agony. (This was not the freeway, but a long city drive - speed limit 35, everyone goes 40, no stop signs.) I drove a ways, but couldn't get that animal in pain out of my mind. I turned around, went back and saw it was still alive and in agony. So I aimed my right front tire at it to put it out of its misery. I never before tried to deliberately hit an animal.

I am happy the kitteh was rescued - but sheeh stopping like that on the freeway is dangerous.

Yeah. A lot of the other drivers swerved around or straddled the kitten. You could tell they weren't going very fast - at 60 mph, the wind would've blown the little around - but there were others vehicles right behind them. Looks like this video's hero had an opportunity to stop (somewhat) safely.

101 I was once driving my god-daughter and her family from an outlying part of Toronto home. There were 7 of us in the car, I'm used to driving alone. We ended up on a dark country road.

Some animal just jumped out in the middle of the road. I have 6 lives in the car besides myself and even if I had the time to try to avoid the creature, I'm not risking an accident. There was a horrible 'clunk' sound as I hit the animal.

About 10 minutes pass. I'm a bit freaked out and feeling bad about the animal when all of a sudden, ANOTHER animal darts across the road in front of me, there's another clunk sound, the car shakes a bit. And I'm thinking 'Oh my God, I can't believe this..."

Another 20 minutes pass and I'm trying to put the thoughts of the animals killed by my animal death car out of my mind, when ANOTHER animal darts across the road!! 'Clunk.' 'The car jolts a bit.

What could I say? Three dead animals within an hour and I'm an animal lover. I got everyone home safe though which was my job.

I had always wondered how we got so many pop culture references from a show that only ran for three seasons, but looking at the list, they crammed 86 one-hour-long episodes into those 3 seasons. Also, when I first watched ST on TV as a kid, they split every show into two episodes..."to be continued". Watching full episodes sans commercials gives me a better appreciation of how the mythology built up.

131 8 It's great that the kitteh was saved. But, there is a reason they tell you not to do that. The guy was risking not only his own life, but also the lives of his passengers (his kids?) as well as others out on that freeway.

One thing that sometimes happens is if there is a line of cars, one in front sees the obstacle, and times it to cut over into an adjacent lane without having to slow down too much. But, the next car behind, being screened until the last moment, doesn't have the time to plan a lane change and is going too fast to stop in time. Collides with the stopped car and who knows what happens with that.

Don't stop in the middle of the freeway! You put everyone in danger.

Posted by: Anon Y. Mous at September 17, 2016 07:44 PM (R+30W)

One time my car broke down in the left lane of I-95 at about 6:30 pm on Friday night. It was an electrical problem and the engine just died. There was no way to pull over to the shoulder.

So I stood there on the median for a good 20 minutes before the wall-to-wall 60 mph traffic thinned out enough for me to RUN to the side of the road.

After I got out, I hopped over the barrier in the middle to the opposite lane and walked a good distance away from my car. To this day I can't believe someone didn't hit it.

That was the usual thing for Lost In Space in season 1 and most of season 2, IIRC. I think they dropped that for S3... maybe towards the end of S2? But S3, no cliffhangers, I think.

209 38 About a year ago, I saw the driver in front of me hit a squirrel. The thing was still alive and squirming in agony. (This was not the freeway, but a long city drive - speed limit 35, everyone goes 40, no stop signs.) I drove a ways, but couldn't get that animal in pain out of my mind. I turned around, went back and saw it was still alive and in agony. So I aimed my right front tire at it to put it out of its misery. I never before tried to deliberately hit an animal.

I burst into tears and asked my husband to pick up the crying puppy, and he did, and it stopped crying, and then it died.

250 What the he'll is wrong with people? Why would you abandon a kitten or puppy like that and not bring it to an animal shelter? That said, nice story. Here's another:

I was on my way to work one morning and had to get gas and some scraggly, hobo looking guy walked up to me with a box full of kittens. He said his cat had given birth to them a few weeks before but he couldn't take care of them and hadn't been able to find homes for them. I told him that I was on my way to work and I couldn't take them with me and told him to take them to a shelter. No car. I took them off his hands and drove to a nearby private elementary school where a friend of mine worked. She had her class take care of them for the day bc I didn't want to leave them alone in my place. Of course, all the kids fell in love with them and begged their parents to let them have one at the end of the day when they came to pick them up. They were all gone when I came to get them when I got off work. Happy ending like this one.

It was so hard to watch the cars that drove over them though! That part was bad.

________

We're doing the animals a favor. Case in point:

A couple years ago, I hit a deer. I pulled over, and the beast's chest was heaving. It looked me in the eye with its death gaze, beckoning me to it. I placed my hand on its shoulder and it said to me, telepathically, "This is my last, and you have done me a great favor for I can no longer live with what I have done. I urge you to do me one more favor. Please publish my confession." It went on to say that it had raped a doe. It also said told me that when the pregnant doe approached it weeks later that it falcon-punched the female deer, and when that failed to cause a miscarriage the buck committed arson, which I didn't understand but I pledged to tell his story. It also said that it took many craps near bodies of water in blatant violation of state environmental regulations. I absolved it of its guilt, and the animal, visibly relieved, died in peace.

I said a prayer, removed my hand, and went on my way.

A motorcyclist hit the carcass minutes later. The wreck was bad. He's still paralyzed.

I understand he had to get rid of his dog because the medical bills were financially smothering his family. Poor guy - his kids loved that dog, and now not only do they not have their beloved pet but their father can't walk. And their mother can't work because she has to take care of her husband full time. That family is truly desperate.

A nice family adopted the dog.

(See? Happy ending!)

I gave her the meat I had in my lunch, and water, and begged one of the guys who was cutting with me to take it home, I promised to pay half the neutering fee.

It was a female so it was more expensive than I planned on.

He had a barn to keeps his goats in, and she did a good job keeping the mice down, was affectionate little thing, and built like a fist.

True dat. But I have a happy pet death story. WTF you say...

Well, we gone for a few days, neighbor was watching the cat. I'm getting stuff out of the car when J comes running out "Sally is dead"!

I run in, she's laying in an unusual spot, not breathing and cool to the touch. So I go out back and dig a hole to bury her. Pick her up, just dead wait and head for the back door.

As I get to the door I hear a sound kinda like a sigh. We both decide it's air escaping from a dead body like we'd heard about. I go out and place Sally in the cold dirt.

Then her leg moved! Picked up and took her inside and kept petting her. Now you could see her breathing. After a few minutes I realized I was just prolonging the inevitable.

I stopped petting her and was gone in a few minutes.

To this day I believe my touch and her love for us brought her back from the edge of death, amazing. But it was time to let her go at the age of 20.

261 My son, 5 at the time, and I were driving down a 4 lane divided highway after a huge rainstorm had blown through. I spotted a small dog in the right lane running back and forth as if it couldn't decide where to go. We were nearly a mile from any house. I pulled over to the shoulder and got out and called to it and slowly approached. It backed up a bit and clearly wasn't comfortable letting me get within 50 feet.

I was beginning to worry that I would contribute to the dog getting hit when it dashed toward me quite happily and ran past me on the shoulder. I turned to see that my son, who had been told to remain in the car, had gotten out to see what was going on.

The dog just liked kids. We took it home and dried it off and delivered it to the vet listed on its tag.
