    Nobody will admit to this. That's coming from somebody who's dog was killed by a car.

    What about the billions of flies and midges that were accidentally murdered in a death by windscreen scenario so far this year?

    It happens unfortunately.

    I wouldn't say that the people who killed it are bad people for driving away. I think I would be so distraught, I wouldn't be able to stop and pull it in out of the way. That would be an image that would haunt me.

    Why wouldn't they come forward when they could get a claim off the dog owner. As as far as the laws concerned it's the dog owners fault for letting their dog lose on a public road.

    They have found a new home in a recently deceased dog.

    I would have to stop, the image of leaving a dog on the side of the road would haunt me more.

    All I will say is that if an animal is in the middle of the road you should not brake suddenly or swerve. It sounds unkind, but it is better the animal sacrafice rather than risking the lives of pedestrians, cars behind you, or oncoming traffic. I barely had my first car 2 weeks when it was totalled because two drunk teenage girls freaked out and swerved in to my parked car when a cat crossed their path.

    Not stopping after killing a family pet is, of course, lame. Did he have a tag?

    there is a lot to be said for having a dog on a leash.

    .

    hear, hear. if that were me I would go find the owner, inform him of what happened and sent him the bill for damages to the car.

    remember the dogs who used to run after cars. you don't see many of them around anymore.

    I don't think I would stop, I'd find it hard enough to deal with the guilt of having just accidentally killed a dog ( I hate even killing flies, always try and save those little bastids! ) ..wouldnt be able to stop and get out of the car and see the remains of the dog, it would haunt me. Especially if there was a person on the side of the road trying to pack me off on a guilt trip ahem.

    Very easily.
    What if you hit a sheep out on the N59, or a cow escaped from its field?
    I bet you'd claim from the owner then. "Ooh, it's a cutesy wootsy animal, I can't add to the suffering of its owner by making them pay for my busted headlight."

    Nonsense.

    country folk are not as attached to their animals as city folk. they tend not to have them groomed or send them a postcard when they go on holiday.
    but just like city folk country folk need to be responsible for their animals. in this case he presented a danger to the public.
    what would you say to cute little dog who bit a child?
    i have enough to contend with on the road that worry about some animal wrecking my car. I defintely would not swerve on a busy road and risk my life for our canine friend.

    I've heard of a dog running onto the road and being hit by a car and the owner of the car then ringing on the owners doorbell and saying they have to compensate him for damage to the car.

    Anyway as it's Christmas here's some nice animal photos to cheer everyone up

    At this time of year, try to spare a thought for the victims of the mindless slaughter of snails and worms by pedestrians and cyclists.

    This is right and should happen - it is the owner's responsibility to control their animal(s).

    It happened to my family. Our dog got spooked and ran out onto the road. Some minor damage was caused to the car which we had to pay for, and the dog ended up being put down as there was too much damage done.

    That being said, I was told when I was learning to drive that if you hit a dog you must wait for the gardaí to come (dunno if it's true and can't remember who told me) .
