I don't think the turtle made it out if the old man carrying him didn't.

Yes. I stop my vehicle to save literally any animal I see in danger of being hit. I've saved two turtles in recent memory.

great way to cause an accident trying to avoid killing an animal. not that i go out of my way to kill one but if its between running over a duck and hitting the car to the right and causing a pile up then its probably better to just kill the duck

Don't you think that's a little silly when you also eat meat from the factory farm? The animals in there aren't exactly joyfully skipping through meadows.

>Would you do the same?

I read a study done by the state of Florida that, statistically, 1 out of 7 or so people actually speeds up and deliberately swerve when they see a turtle on the road so they can hit it.

Pop's heart is in the right place, but the game was rigged from the start.

The people who do this will literally lock tires, leave their car in the middle of the road, door open, and ask the turtle which side he would prefer to be on. Which is usually 4 lanes and 3 medians away

I canโ€™t say Iโ€™m surprised

I did. Found a snapper on a turn notorious for accidents because its so sharp you can't see around it. Ungrateful bastard still tried to bite me. I didn't know their necks were actually so long, pee'd a bit when he almost reached my finger when I was carrying his fat ass off the road. Finger woulda been gone if he got it. In hindsight turtles aren't worth it, a lesson the old timer could've learned sooner.

These stylish individuals are indeed quite poor, despite their respectable attire, as they prioritize God over material pursuits. They would much rather chase the holy wisdom of God than the secular materialist trappings of wealth.

They are not your hedge fund managers and shipping magnates, so why the formal style? Simply put, it is a desire to look respectable. These Hasidim would rather pore over an ancient scroll than a stock portfolio.

And so we see dichotomy: The spiritual and the material. To chase one, the other is shunned. More simply: Who do you love? God or the world?

I've done this for animals before, but never on a busy highway like this. It's just too dangerous for this exact reason. If it was a smaller street with fewer lanes then I'd save the turtle for sure. But if it was on the highway like this, I'd just swerve around it and hope for the best
