Angry OPEN your eyes!!!!!!

normally i dont say much let alone a rant but this has me riled up, Of late its oct and rather warm out my way, in driving to uni today i was able to remove a Bluey off the rd prior to it being pancaked (Nice green/gray tinge to it), happy me, did my bit......so i thought .....on the trip home i found 4 eastern blueys, 2 eastern browns a red bellie black and 1 long neck turtle, all had been run over -DEAD!!!!!
i understand that there can be unavoidable times when people or cars cant avoid our little herp friends, however the turtle, 2 blueys and one brown were all off the rd , meaning some insignificant primate like animal drove off the rd to run these down, anyways letting off steam as i was annoyed about this.

point of this rant i guess now its warm, keep your eyes open and move any reptiles off the rd before they are MURDERED, an if you see someone deliberately run over herps than follow them and slash their tyres or something nice like that.

--cheers, James

probably wat had happend is someone hit the poor thing then got out and moved it off the road, that might be the case sometimes.

It is sad but sometimes I have hit and killed herps on the roads. I alway move them off as carrion come along and it is safer for them to be on the side of the road.....dont go ranting until you know what has happened.
