only reaction i have when hitting an animal on the street is anger that i dented the front of my car and/or got blood on it. actually, i went back for a full grown grey fox that was still in great condition, brought it home, put it in the freezer, got it stuffed later for the game collection in my parents log cabin. it replaced the raccoon that someone stole when i had a party once. i heard it attended highschool softball games.
list of other creatures in my house under request, heheh
Edit: i just remembered, the last pet i had was a brown and white skunk... thing had to weigh upwards of 40+ lbs!
