Naming a dead animal is insane.
I like foxes, and other animals. Accidents happen, with animals that are not observant enough.
It is getting worse because of more vehicles and that is from human overpopulation--the root cause.

Hi, I'm Izzy, and I need advice Last Friday, I was returning home work, when two large beautiful foxes darted out from a nearby alley and into the road infront of an oncomming car. It was very apparent, even from a half meter distance that this car had hit one of the foxes, therefore there is no way the driver could not have been aware of the travasty he/she had just caused. However, rather than stopping to check on him, the driver continued on reguardless. When I went to examine the fox, whom I later named Tobias, his spine had been snapped, and he lay dead on impact. Distraught by this, I called the RSPCA hoping to bring the driver to some kind of justice, only to be told that, although they could act in the cases of certain wildlife, the law does not protect him because he was a fox! Tobias was a strong, healthy, beautiful animal. His death was cruel and unjust. It is wrong that one species is valued more than another. Every life is precious, and we have no right to play god and decide which belongs and which does not. For these reasons I want to change this law, so that foxes are given the same rights and justice as other animals under this protective umbrella. I would really appriciate your advice on how I can do this in a peaceful and constructive manner. Please help me get justice for Tobias. |

If you don't understand something, thats fine, but that doesnt make it insane. It just means you and I think of things in a different light. I just think if there was some kind of penalty, people would take more care |

Besides, i think you've missed the point. The point is not that the accident occurred. I know accidents happen, but dont you think if an animal gets hit, the driver should at least stop? I do. I'm of the opinion that if you think something is wrong, dont just moan about it, DO something. So thats what i'm trying to do. Thats why i thought i'd ask what avenues i should go through, and i thought here would be the best place to information gather. |

I can understand naming a wild animal, but not naming one after it has been a victim of road kill and is dead. I believe there are already laws to prosecute those who are witnessed to purposely have run over an animal. We don't need more laws. What we need is less people, and less vehicular traffic.

If I had time to worry about specific instances of wild animals getting struck by vehicles, I could probably think of a better use of my time. |

Not correct Donnie. I try not to judge. So you place Fenetry E Eagle with ethics. Are you implying that there are ethics in the animal world? |
