What do you brake for?

[texaschickeee]

Going to Sam's club to get cat food and other things, a turtle was crossing a 2 lane road. (median in the middle then two more on the other side). Turned around- went back and my friend got out and grabed him for me.

Pretty big as far as turtles go. Gave some water, and took to a lake (pond) down the road that caters to these animals.


He swam away quickly, but I think He was smiling.

Critters about everything. Especially if I'm in my squad. I stopped to help a baby bird across the road at the start of shift last Saturday. I'm a sucker for animals.

I hear ya about being in the radio car....if I hit a roach in the black-n-white I'd have PETA calling me every name in the book on live TV. That's my luck, right there. But I'm also a sucker for animals. People bring me stray animals, baby raccoons, owls, all sorts of wildlife all the time at the station (I mean seriously, WTF am I gonna do with an OWL for chrissakes???). I will NOT bring home another stray, but I REALLY feel guilty every time I call animal control. I finally found a no-kill shelter that will come and get the critters....I feel a LOT better now.

I brake for beer.

You're under 21....it's ROOT beer.....:D

Any type of animal. My folks often told me I was going to get killed trying to save an animal rather than at work.

And I can't run over roadkill...when I drove the 40 ft bus for inmate transportation...they told specifically told me that I would have to hit any animal that crosses the path...instead of swerving.

My reply, "Hell I'm Asian...we don't get into accidents we cause them!!!!"

Any animal, as long as I am not going to cause an accident. I've been known to stop and get turtles off the road at work. Much to some motorists laughter. :D

I brake for....er.....stopsigns and red lights.

Otherwise, only on the beach do I brake. Even then, only on tuesdays

I brake for Goats (GTO's) because they are so slow.......

I would much rather help animals then most humans I deal with.

I am a sucker for animals. I have 2 cats (all at least 15 LBS and all stray toms) and one dog. no more for a while.:rolleyes:

I would brake for people, BUT........We had a Sgt who lost his kids (entire family) when the wife swerved to avoid a dog in the road, back in the 80's. It happened on L.I. Very sad, the kids were killed and the wife survived. I couldn't imagine what they went through. They seperated afterward. When braking didn't stop her in time she swerved and was hit head on by a large truck.

:( Sad deal.


That brings up a good point. Braking is good but swerving is bad.
