As Cars Hit More Animals on Roads, Toll Rises

Ingrid says her surveillance caught this guy swerving away to miss an animal crossing the road but wants us to know that “this is not enough! Animals are still being hit by cars and we will not rest until every car is taken off the road!”

BOZEMAN, Mont. — On a dark highway near Anchorage, Specialist Steven Cavanaugh of the Army, who had survived 300 missions in Iraq, was critically injured in December when his vehicle hit a moose. Specialist Cavanaugh died Dec. 6.

Ingrid Newkirk of PETA tells WhoLetTheBlogOut.com Reporters that while she is not seeking the death penalty for hitting an animal on the road, she wishes to protect these animals at any cost.

During her work as a humane officer, Ingrid discovered the enormous amount of animal abuse taking place behind closed doors in laboratories, on factory farms, etc. She met Alex Pacheco when he volunteered at the shelter she worked at, and he gave her a copy of Peter Singer’s book Animal Liberation. It inspired her to found PETA in 1980 with the goals of investigating, publicizing and ending animal cruelty.

Since its founding, PETA has exposed horrific cruelty in animal laboratories, leading to canceled funding, closed facilities, and hundreds of charges filed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture; closed the largest horse-slaughtering operation in North America; convinced dozens of designers to stop using fur; cleaned up substandard animal shelters; helped schools find alternatives to dissection; provided information on vegetarianism, companion animal care, and countless other issues to millions of people.

And now vows she will get cars off the road as well!

In the early morning darkness in Lincoln, Mont., in October, a pickup slammed into a 830-pound grizzly bear. The driver survived, but the bear was among seven grizzlies — a record for one year — killed by vehicles this year statewide.

When asked about this case, Ingrid vowed to “Protect grizzly bears against murderous drivers everywhere. Our grizzlies are being killed by motor vehicles at the alarming rate of one time per, well . . . one time.”

In addition to the loss of life, the accidents can be expensive. The average cost of a deer collision is $8,000, including repair, towing and cleaning up the carcass, while hitting an elk averages $18,000. If the driver strikes a much larger moose, expenses average about $30,000.

Ingrid commented on this by saying that these killer drivers should also pay a fine, which of course would go right into the PETA fund for prosecuting drivers who murder animals.

This would seem to be a segment of an intestine from some creature that ingested the fender from an old DeSoto. In any case, it’s alarmingly aerodynamic, this meat; very modern and streamlined. Perhaps this recipe hails from the 1939 World’s Fair.

This has of course just been a parody and since PETA loves to sue anyone who crosses there path, we want you to know this is a parody. Ingrid said none of the above statements. Please don’t sue us Ingrid. I haven’t ran over an animal for a real long time. Well, do armadillos count? It wasn’t my fault. Really! The armadillo attacked my car! I was defending myself!
