    You’re completely right. Many other animals understand the concept of roads and will leave them when a car approaches, as long as you don’t surprise them before they have the chance. Foxes for example.

    Deers however will cross a road when a car approaches, and sometimes even change their mind and cross the road a second time in the other direction.

    But deer are a pest in most areas anyways, so they are better off dead. Just a shame for the damage done to the car

      What’s funny about humans is we are more than happy to eat intelligent animals like pigs, but for the most part won’t put forth the effort needed to eat deer which are dumb as rocks. Very sad.

        People don’t eat deer as commonly as beef but they do it it. Never had of venison and game meat?

          Sure

          Name more than one restaurant that serves it without looking it up.

          Name the last time you noticed it at a grocery store.

          People also eat bugs, but we slaughter an obscene number of pigs and I think it’s harder to find restaurants that don’t serve a piglet-based meal.
