I'd say 'ick' but I chopped up 75 dead mice and 12 herring yesterday. And on top of that, I've seen two animals euthanized, one beheaded, and two die in their cages. Also, a sparrow-sized bird once hit my windshield with a spectacular death-inducing thump, right in front of my face while I was driving. Good thing I don't react to anything! Well, sometimes my inability to react kinda sucks, but in that case I'm glad I wasn't startled enough to swerve off the highway.
Death keeps happening to those poor, ill-equipped animals. Human civilization operates at speeds they can't adapt to. At least, if you stay mindful, you kill fewer than people who are always rushing rushing and don't know what repercussions their carelessness creates.
You know, I totally understand your sadness. I totally try to avoid all the rabbits, kittens and crazy squirrels that run out in front of me all the time. And although Ideally I'd like to not hit any with my car, I can't really feel bad for hitting something that is easily capable of flying 20 feet over me!
Personally, I always try to tell myself that I am just apparently taking out the stupid birds that would have died anyway. =] -j-
