Was just driving home from work, doing about 45mph. A Fox appears out of nowhere, luckily due to my fast reactions I braked in time. Now thats one lucky Fox! You should look before you cross next time Mr Fox.

you should actually (providing there is room) try to drive around and miss the animals on the road, because most of the time you wont be able to stop by the time you hit them. hitting a fox at 20 mph still dents your car. not to mention the fox :)

I do normally drive around, but this happened so fast.

Actually you shouldn't. Hitting an animal >>>> having a hea don collision with someone coming the other way.

Though i guess it depends entirely on the situation.

Hit a fox at 40 mph at there's around a 90% chance the fox will die

Hit a fox at 20 mph in your crappy car and there's around a 90% chance the fox will laugh its ass off, come round to the drivers door, and punch you in the face.

If a fox dented my car, even though it would be dead, i'd still stamp on its head.

In reality your not meant to try and stop, because if there's a car behind you then you may well end up in a serious crash! But if it was clear then well played mate!

Most fatalities happen when the driver tries to steer out the way and crash into a tree. That's what happened to a mate of mines dad.

I doubt you would...

And I wouldn't say a fox is a vermin, what makes you think so?

They eat chickens which apparently makes them vermin.

I never really understood the farmers rage on wolves/foxes for taking like 1 chicken or sheep a year, so lets go out and kill the predators.

Which is especially fucking stupid atleast here in Sweden where we already killed off alot of our wolves, or like in Britain where there actually aren't any left.

Its even weirder when people who aren't farmers have some superiority complex against wild animals, who dont in the fucking slightest affect them in any way.

Its a bit sad really.

I'm by no means one of those nutjobs going on about animal rights but when I see that there's less than 3000 tigers left in the world I actually feel pretty sad, because they are truly majestic creatures that deserves better :(

Same. All engangered species used to thrive at one point.

they actually kill off the whole coop and then carry the corpses off for safekeeping one by one. farmers dont like it when all their chickens get killed.

Haha right they don't. My next door neighbours used to keep chickens and they had to go away for the night at short notice and left a message on my mums machine asking if she could put the chickens away that night. She didn't get the message and we were all woken up to the sound of Foxes dismembering Chickens all night.

It's fair to say they weren't happy, but it was good fun to watch :D I had ringside seats because co-incidentally it was my birthday party that night (10th or 11th soemthing like that) and I had some friends over and we were 'camping' in the garden for the night with some bottles of pop and second hand grumble mags.

Good times.

Chicken farmers should spend more money on security and less on growth hormones :p
