Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

The way you wrote about it just seemed... like you had done that before lol. I could've written this comment, but the previous one... not so much.
Kind of ... I'm Indigenous Canadian and one of the lessons my hunter/trapper father taught me was to respect all animal life, no matter what it is. He taught us that no one should kill any animal unless it was to feed ourselves or use it for our survival. You don't just kill something for nothing.
So when I started driving on highways just over 30 years ago, I'd be a good person and clean up dead animals on the road. I thought it was disrespectful for people to just run over animals until it turned into an organic pancake. But it was constant and just about every drive I took meant I had to clean up something and most times, my passengers didn't appreciate it. Once I picked up a skunk that had been knocked dead ... hit in the head but not squished. I was careful and put it in a garbage bag and threw behind my half ton truck and drove it away to put in the woods somewhere. I stopped not far, picked up the bag and it burst .... INSIDE MY TRUCK BED!!! ... the skunk had 'leaked' or its glands had burst or let go or something and a bit of juice came out of the bag .... I just about gagged and ran away. It took me a month to get rid of that smell and no one wanted to ride with me.
The smell is so strong when you are that close that it will add a stench to your clothes that will take about 20 washes to remove the scent.
Wow that's interesting and the conclusion is so terrible! I have been close to dead skunks and had dogs sprayed by them and it was so rank at a distance. The worst story I heard (before now) was from someone who let their dog outside and the dog went and got sprayed by a skunk then came inside and jumped into the bed. That destroyed that guy for like a month. He couldn't go to work for a while even.
