Hay guys.
Im so upset, my boyfriend (whom ive been with for 2.5yrs) just took me for a ride in his new car, and he hit a possum. Poor thing just ran out in the middle of the road. Swerved but to no avail. We did a U turn as soon as we could and pulled over. I had to go back to see if the poor thing was still alive, if not see if it had anything in its pouch, and if not that then at least move it off the road so nothing else gets hit. God i was devestated, i just burst out crying, its the first time ive been in the car and we've hot something. Poor thing. It was dead - didnt stand a chance, luckily it was instant. No babies (was a male) so i picked him up and moved him off the road about 5metres back, placed him down and said "we're sorry mate". God its just devestating. I would have done the same thing for any animal, even a cat, no animal deserves to be left behind if they could still be alive or carrying young. I was always taught to check if its still alive, if not check females pouches, and then move the body off the road so no other animal scavenging gets injured. What do you guys think?
