Quick Question

[thegovanator]

Alright guys and gals. If you are driving down the street at about 50 MPH and hit a dog or cat would you stop?

Today our fraternity's dog was run over on Glenwood Ave. right outside our house and the driver kept going. It makes me realize that this world really is full of assholes.

[punkr6]

I agree 100%, I would stop and do everything in my power to help the animal. I hate seeing animals abused, homeless and hurt.

[thegovanator]

I wish this guy would have stopped. He killed the dog, we had to bury him in the back yard, it's extremely upsetting.

[Benefit]

HAHAHA i would keep driving while laughing

[deathrex]

dog yes id stop. cat fuck no they climb on my cars that arent in the garage and try and smother me while i sleep, g/f has a cat. it tries to kill me in my sleep.

[goi_ek]

well if i was already going 50 mph i don't think i would stop

[Jiggity96]

i never stop when i hit animals

it just creates an awkward situation and usually the people are mad at you and yelling very irrationally when all i was doing is driving down the road like my car was intended for

honestly id rather be "that asshole that drove away" than "then the fucking idiot offered to help us bury it said his name was jeff"

[Jiggity96]

but don't get me wrong man im sorry bout yalls dog

[thegovanator]

No I'm not judging anyone by what they are saying I'm just curious to see how many people would stop.

I don't mean to be rude, but why was your dog in the road and not on a leash? Sounds like somebody watching the dog screwed up big time and it cost the dog it's life.

What was the driver suppose to do after hitting the dog? Take a tongue lashing for driving on a public road and hitting an animal?

It sucks, but it happens. I hate to be so harsh, but next time keep it on a leash.


The dogs that get hit the most are the car chasing tire biters. Sooner or later, the tire bites back.

[thegovanator]

It's not rude I get what you're saying. We wouldn't give the guy a tongue lashing, we aren't like that but it is courteous to stop. I'm not sure why he went across the road. He was pretty smart, always came back home and such.

[Lurker]

10 mph, yes

50 mph, no because I don't care to argue with the person as to why their animal was in the road where only motorized vehicles/bicycles belong. <<< I only put bicycles because they cry if you don't include them too, lol.

[Elbow]

Yes I would stop, even if it's not my fault, it's the right thing to do.

[bdydrpdmazda]

at 50+ mph i wouldnt stop because the dog would be dead. if I were going slower and i thought i could help the dog i might stop. dogs should be on a leash or in a fence at all times

yeah man, now, do your best NOT to be one of them and NEXT share this story with everyone you know, and HOPEFULLY we can bring this world back to the "I give a sh*t about my fellow mate status."

Gosh that would be nice ay! :cheers:

[thegovanator]

^ I'm doing my best not to be one of them.

I would stop and see what I could do. For a cat or a dog. Wild animal, probably not. Later, QD.

and I for one appreciate that. cheers

The dog would be dead yes, I'd still stop, I would look around to see if someone knew the dog, man up, and tell the owner what happened. At least move the dead dog out of the road.

That's just what I would do.

[AnthonyF]

Their the asshole b/c you didn't keep an eye on your animal?

-Ant.

[thegovanator]

Yea this man didn't do that. We had to go pick the dog up and carry him to the backyard. We also washed the little bit of blood off of the street.

Some people do not understand the concept of morals and values. Later, QD.

[thegovanator]

Anthony, I'm assuming you have a dog because of that picture. Let's say that your dog has rushed away from you and gets hit by a car. Would you not want the person who hit the dog to at least stop and man up to what he/she had done?

[imperception]

nicely done :goodjob:

[1MP0RTL0V3R]

I would stop no matter what, I have two dogs and I wouldnt want to find out that someone hit my dog and didnt do anything to help and just drove away. Im a animal lover and i dislike people who dont stop, my sister witnessed someone runover a dog in our neighborhood and the speedlimit is only 25. I would see what I can do to help the dog not just drive off like nothing happend.

[AnthonyF]

I have one personal and 6 my parents own + others that have passed.

You didn't answer my question though. Why are THEY the asshole b/c your dog ran out? That makes zero sense. You should of had control over your animal. Domestic animals rely on humans b/c they are far too stupid to protect themselves.

Your first post said some1 hit them then in your reply to me you said the dog rushed away from you. Meaning you were right there. Why did you not have control of your animal?

I am not saying I would not stop. I have before for a dog that my ex ran over. I just don't like you logic that THEY are the asshole b/c they hit something that shouldn't have been in the road. What if he was rushing his son/daughter to the hospital? Would you still call them an asshole?

-Ant.

[thegovanator]

No I set up a hypothetical situation for you, read it again and get back to me. I'm not mad at the person for hitting the dog, it's just the fact that they didn't stop at all or even slow down. I mean it is a living creature. And with the hospital comment he was heading away from any hospital that was close so that is out of the question.

[AnthonyF]

I wasn't commenting on your hypothetical question. I was commenting on you statement:

Now this is a true story, correct? THAT is what I was commenting on.

I brought forth a hypothetical situation. Read it again and get back at me.

-Ant.

[americanctm]

I know how you feel. Unfortunately the same thing happened to me a few years ago. My family's dachshund was run over and the person responsible never stopped. She drug herself 25 yards back to my grandmother's porch with a broken jaw, ruptured internal organs and extensive internal bleeding, 2 back legs broken, and a broken back. I have no idea how she managed to drag herself that far. Even though it was an accident, the person responsible should have just stopped and dealt with the situation.

[thegovanator]

Well if he had in fact been going to the hospital it would be different, but in this case there was one person in the car the driver. In my original post the dog was just across the street so I don't get where you are seeing he rushed away from me, he wasn't with me I was in the driveway, he was supposed to be with another one of the 20+ guys that were outside.

Are you really that dumb? He said people are assholes mentioning they didn't even stop.

Common sense owns you.

I have to second this post.

Ant., you really can't see what Gov is saying? Later, QD.

[AnthonyF]

I clearly see what he is saying, but he is calling some1 an asshole b/c him and on of other other dumbasses didn't keep an eye on animal that has no concept of death and will run around b/c of not knowing any better.

-Ant.

[quickdodge®]

I clearly see what he is saying,

I guess you don't.

You're turning his reason into your reason. Later, QD.

You truly are being a complete moron. I am not changing HIS reason into mine. I am asking why is the driver an asshole for some1 not taking care of their animal. If My dog got loose b/c of me or some1 else and got hit, I would not be mad at the driver for any reason. My dog is my daughter and I protect her in every which way I can b/c she is too dumb to know any better.

-Ant.

[bonezMTA]

i slow down whenever i see an animal near by. i would hate to kill one.(moment of silence for the frat's dog and my Pitbull) Love and Respect

[thegovanator]

Ant we can go on and on about this, I'm saying this person was an asshole because he had complete disregard for the action he caused. The dog is dead, I'm not saying I dislike this person because he killed the dog. I dislike him due to the fact he had no courtesy to stop the car and see if he could help or offer some sort of minor apology. The other thing that I don't get is why he wouldn't stop due to the damage his car had. We found a piece of something off of his car when we went to grab the dog's body.

If you remember what kinda car it is you can always look for it around that time of day to see if he passes through and do whatever you'd like.

Make an invisible fence next time? :goodjob:

-Ant.

[thegovanator]

He actually had one of those, something bothered him on the other side of the road so bad he went through it. This was the first time he ever left the yard like that.

There's no need to explain yourself man. You're thoughts and reasons are completely valid enough. Later, QD.

[amandDA]

10 mph, yes

50 mph, no because I don't care to argue with the person as to why their animal was in the road where only motorized vehicles/bicycles belong. <<< I only put bicycles because they cry if you don't include them too, lol.

i agree. the dog should have been on a leash to begin with. if i was going prob thirty or under id stop. like in a neighborhood yes. on a main road with other quick moving traffic no. sorry about your dog though

[BKgen®]

I'd stop without hesitation. Sure, as the driver you can go ahead and say that the owners are at fault for not having him on a leash... but that doesn't change the fact that you hit the animal. In my eyes, whether it was 10 or 50 mph, the driver should at least take on the simple responsibility of checking to see if the dog is OK. The last thing I would want on my conscience is the idea of me not stopping to check on a dog that probably could've been saved.

My last dog was a bull terrier that I grew up with and had for 15 years. She died of natural causes, but if she had been hit by a car and the driver actually stopped, I wouldn't be pointing the finger or "getting into it" with the driver; a scenario that some of you have suggested would happen. At that point, I'd be more concerned about whether the the dog could be helped, as opposed to placing blame on someone and getting into pointless fights about who is at fault.

[§treet_§peed]

i wish the person that swerved into my drive way to hit my dog would of stopped. i mean this person hit my 9 month old dog that was right on the edge of my drive way by serving from the other side of the road. if that wasn't intentional, please tell me what is...

[thegovanator]

We wouldn't have gotten into it with the driver, that's just not how we are. We would just have liked him to get out and attempt to help or check on Little Guy. He didn't do a thing so it made the situation worse.

[thegovanator]

Streetspeed I'm sorry you had to lose your dog that way.

[§treet_§peed]

o and i live in a subdivision that only has two other houses being lived in currently

[§treet_§peed]

Streetspeed I'm sorry you had to lose your dog that way.thanks man i appreciate it. it sucks when you know someone does it intentionally. i mean if it would of been accidental and the person stopped i wouldn't of been mad. i would of tried to rush him to the animal hospital. but there are some fucked up people in this world. considering my dog was on a runner and just outside for about 20 minutes to do his business and run a little bit.

[thegovanator]

To everyone sorry I can't rep any more today. I've been repping everyone who has been straight up honest, even AnthonyF. I might not agree with what he said but he was honest.

[quickdodge®]

I might not agree with what he said but he was honest.

Agreed. Although resorting to name calling to get your (version of) point across was unnecessary seeing as how I was respectful to hm. Later, QD.

[thegovanator]

Oh well he called someone a name... I mean some people just get defensive.

[AnthonyF]

To everyone sorry I can't rep any more today. I've been repping everyone who has been straight up honest, even AnthonyF. I might not agree with what he said but he was honest.

You must have misread what I typed. I wasn't blaming you directly but the person who didn't keep him on a leash.

Now you said you did have an electric fence so you took the precautions you needed to keep the dog safe. So it's not really anyones peoples fault unless some1 turned down the sensitivity. But you took the steps that were needed.

In one of my statements I even said I would stop. I have before..for dogs. Not so much cats, sorry cat lovers or any wild animal that I have hit that was small.

I've never had a problem with you and I still don't.


~EDIT-the name was directed to your Frat brothers, not you.~
-Ant.

[TIGERJC]

nope I wouldn't stop, there is nothing I can do for the dog or any animal for that. I have moved the body off the road if its dead which happens when I hit a animal

[xxbckiexx]

i never stop when i hit animals

it just creates an awkward situation and usually the people are mad at you and yelling very irrationally when all i was doing is driving down the road like my car was intended for

honestly id rather be "that asshole that drove away" than "then the fucking idiot offered to help us bury it said his name was jeff"


bingo.

however if i hit a dog.. i dont think i could keep going.. i love dogs way too much..

[ISAtlanta300]

I would stop and find out who the owner is.....



....then file a claim on their insurance to fix my car



(don't worry... i'll try and help the dog too, of course......)

[BluesClues]

I agree 100%, I would stop and do everything in my power to help the animal. I hate seeing animals abused, homeless and hurt.
x2
I always stop for animals (even squirrels lol). If I can't stop I swirve around them. I 've seen a dog hit by a car in front of me and I just screamed! I literally cried the whole way home because no one stoped and I couldn't stop to help it. Everyone just kept riding by. That could have been someone's pet.


I'm really sorry for you loss. I could never imagine what it would be like to lose your pet. My dog is literally my child. She means EVERYTHING to me. Everything will be ok

[thegovanator]

Thanks for everybody's honest answer I appreciate the input, I was just curious.
AnthonyF- were fine I didn't take anything you said offensively or anything like that, you gave your opinion like I asked for.
Thanks for your condolences too.

[Benefit]

WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT WOULD SHOOT THE DOG AFTER RUNNING IT OVER?

HAHAHA

[thegovanator]

^I'm surprised no one said that
