The way this kind of animal murder is normalized for drivers is beyond disturbing. Imagine a cyclist who came upon some birds blocking the cycle path, pulled out a pocket knife, and started stabbing them so they could get through 20 seconds faster.

It's the same psychopathic "might makes right" mentality that makes people turn a blind eye to the needless, systemic, unfathomable horrors of animal agriculture.

When I was a kid there was a turtle on a bridge, my mom stopped so I could move it off the bridge. Some asshole swerved to hit it while I was walking towards it. I picked up a rock and threw it at his car I was so mad.

I have no tolerance for people that murder birds. I hope the bear mace hurt.

Why did that chicken want to cross the road?

The biggest problem I have with what this woman did is that she used bear mace. Should have been a handgun, or even a machete, or perhaps a flamethrower.
