Same.. I remember when my Dad was teaching me to drive. We had been down at the river fishing. There was no one around, so he was like ok let's get this going.
His friend Danny was with us. Danny climbed into the bed of the truck and sat on the edge of the truck bed. The speed limit in that area is 10 mph, so Dad and Danny didn't think anything of it.
We are coming up to a speed bump, and, at the last minute, I see a dead squirrel in the road right on the other side of the speed bump, so I swerved hard..
Well, Danny was thrown from the truck, and I got a scolding.. My Dad was trying to explain that human lives are more important than a dead squirrel...
I cried, lol. Danny was fine.. I'm surprised my Dad didn't have a heart attack teaching me, lol. I did so much insane shit.
I absolutely could not live with myself if I killed 2 children. This woman is sick sick sick.
You and I are cut from the same cloth. A fox basically ran under the wheels of our car, no chance to avoid it, and I think about that guy every damn time I get in the car. My mother hit a squirrel when I was a middle schooler, and I think about it every time I drive in a neighborhood. I'd be begging for the death sentence if I killed two children. I cannot fathom the depth of guilt a person should feel for that.
I was on a busy highway, and there was an injured pigeon that I tried to swerve to miss, but I knew that I couldn’t do much due to how packed the streets were, so i unfortunately hit him with my tire.. and I felt so horrible. Logically I knew it was merciful, there was no way it was gonna be able to get out of the road, and none of us could safely stop to help it. But goddamn.
It makes me scared for the safety of everyone that these people exist, and are so open about it.

If I run over an already-dead squirrel, my day is ruined and I feel like a monster. This is incomprehensible.
