Damn! I squashed a nest of bunnies.

Bummer of a start to the weekend. I came home from work and because I was going to work on something in my driveway, I parked the truck in the vacant lot next door. I’ve parked there many times. Ran right over them. Two dead by the time I walked around the back of the truck, one bleeding from the mouth and one with no visible injury. I took the dead and wounded and fed them to my boa. The other one I left in the nest to see if the mother would come back and get it. They were probably doomed any way, the lot is due to get mowed by the city mowing crew any time now. Still, I feel bad.

This story reminds me of the time my parents were driving to my grandparents’ house across the state on Christmas Eve. As luck would happen, they hit a deer. My dad actually strapped the thing to the top of his car, and had my uncles help him field dress it and hang it from a tree in my grandparents’ side yard. When the rest of the family arrived the next day for Christmas, it looked like someone had taken out one of Santa’s reindeer. Some of the kids were traumatized, likely for many years to come.

My point is, at least this didn’t happen at Easter in front of a bunch of kids. Still sucks though.

Your snake is happy.

I was not entirely accurate in the OP. At that time I had not fed the wounded and bleeding bunnie to my snake. The two dead ones went first and when I went to toss the wounded, bleeding one in the snake tank it had perked up considerably. Sitting up and exploring the box he was in. So I took him out to the vacant lot and placed him back in the nest with the one that appeared uninjured. Sadly, that one (with no visible injury) was not doing very well. I went back to check later on, after dark, and the mother had moved Bloody Nose and left the other one to it’s fate. I guess nature gave rabbit mamas the ability to pick survivors and non-survivors.

Be careful Memorial Day!

Now that’s just wrong! :frowning:
Funny, in a twisted kind of way, but still wrong. :stuck_out_tongue:
