A poor little raccoon who lost his life....
Posted March 30, 2009 by manykreepykrawlies
This happened on 6/11/08. I documented this when it happened. I just thought I would share this with everyone. Ok, so I am super sad about what just happened tonight. Let me tell you first off that my passion for animals is so much you could never actually measure it. Tonight, I was driving home and a raccoon ran right in front of me. I couldn't stop. There was no time. After I hit the poor creature I turned my car around and headed back towards him. I stopped so he was in front of my car, turned on my hazards and got out. I picked him up and placed him in a safe place so no other cars could hit his body. I placed him in some bushes. I pet his dead body for a second, and said I am sorry. I turned around and left. Now the true reason why I am writing this is so maybe other people will have more respect for life, in all forms. If it had been a small child or an adult, I am sure anyone would stop. But for the most part people hit animals and then go about there day. they don't apologize or say a prayer or anything. The animal is quickly forgotten. Please have compassion for all life even the smallest creatures. pay your respects. Do to others as you would want done to you. This is by far the worst thing that could happen to an animal lover. I have decided to get a tattoo in rememberence of the little raccoon that lost his/her life tonight.....

A Snapping Turtle Saved today!!!!
Posted March 30, 2009 by manykreepykrawlies
This happened on 6/6/08. I just thought I would share this with everybody. OK, THIS MORNING AROUND 8:30 A.M I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY ROAD. NOW THIS ROAD IS FILLED WITH MARSH LANDS WHERE ANIMALS NORMALLY FLOCK TO. I WAS DRIVING AND THEN SUDDENLY I SAW A TURTLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, LIKE IT WAS TRYING TO CROSS. I WASN'T SURE IF IT WAS DEAD OR ALIVE SO I STRADDLED THE TURTLE WITH THE CAR AND DROVE STRAIGHT OVER IT. I TURNED AROUND IMMEDIATELY AND WENT BACK TO CHECK ON THE TURTLE. AS I PULLED OVER A SEMI TRUCK WAS CROSSING OVER HIM. I CLOSED MY EYES IN FEAR FOR THE BIG GUY THAT HE WOULDNT BE SQUASHED BY THE TRUCK. WHEN I SAW IT WAS SAFE TO CROSS THE STREET I OBSERVED THE TURTLE AND NOTICED HE WAS ALIVE AND SNAPPING. IN QUITE A PISSY MOOD I MUST SAY. I DON'T BLAME HIM THOUGH. I TRIED TO PICK HIM UP BUT HE KEPT TRYING TO BITE. EVENTUALLY I WAS ABLE TO SCOOT HIM WITH MY FOOT A LITTLE WAYS. ALL THE WHILE I MUST ADD TRAFFIC IS BACKING UP AND THE ROAD NOW FILLED WITH CARS WAITING TO PASS. FINALLY I DECIDED TO RISK MY HANDS AND JUST GRAB HIM BY HIS SHELL AND DRAG HIM OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HE MUST HAVE BEEN TRYING TO CROSS TO GET TO THIS LITTLE DITCH FILLED WITH WATER. I PUT HIM IN THE WATER AND TURNED AROUND TO GET BACK TO MY CAR. I DROVE OFF, WORRIED THAT THE TURTLE WOULD TRY TO CROSS THE ROAD AGAIN, SO I TURNED AROUND AGAIN SO I COULD GO BACK AND GET HIM TO RELOCATE HIM TO A SAFER AREA BUT HE HAD DISSAPEARED INTO THE WATER. THE TURTLE WAS ABOUT 15-20 POUNDS AND ABOUT 13-15 INCHES ACROSS THE SHELL. HIS MOUTH COULD OPEN WIDE ENOUGH TO FIT MY HAND IN THERE. NOT A LITTLE ONE BUT NOT THE BIGGEST I HAVE RESCUED IN THE PAST. THE POINT OF MY STORY..... DON'T BE AN ASS AND TRY TO HIT ANIMALS OR EVEN NEGLECT TO TRY AND RESCUE ONE IN NEED. OBVIOUSLY I WAS THERE AT THAT MOMENT FOR A REASON.. TO SAVE A TURTLE. DON'T EVER THINK TWICE, JUST DO IT. BE KIND TO THOSE IN NEED. EVEN IF THE ANIMAL SEEMS PISSY WITH YOU, ITS BECAUSE ITS SCARED. SO PLEASE GUYS....HELP OUT WHEN HELP IS NEEDED. THANK YOU...Smile
