But the money is spent on an investigation regardless. They would still be removing themselves from the gene pool (hopefully before breeding) which would eventually lead to improvement.Big Wallaby wrote:That may be, but when they kill themselves through stupidity, our tax dollars are spent on an investigation. It's not good enough to say, "Yep. He wasn't wearing (Type-X Safety Apparatus), so he killed himself."
Seriously. Back when my daughter was little and we were teaching her that. We have a stray cat that adopted us. That cat would (and still does) run over to greet us when we came home. She always stops at the edge of the street, looks both ways, and then continues on across.Darksin wrote: We'd probably be a bit better off if we got rid of crossing guards and taught kids to.. y'know, look both ways again.
We would point that out to my daughter "See, Blackie knows to look both ways."
It is a sad state that cats have more common sense than most humans.
On a related note. I'm now teach my daughter to drive and she at least has good reaction time. Yesterday, were going down the road (one of the major traffic areas) and this stupid woman just walks out into the street to cross. Daughter slammed on brakes to avoid killing her. The woman just kept on going (followed by the sound of at least two more persons slamming on brakes..)
