Paulo, i feel for ya... i still feel awful for that one bird.
I almost broke my neck 6 weeks ago putting a baby chick back into a next above our front door... a few days later the chick fell out and died on my doorstep... stuff like this really troubles me but in the larger picture, i guess its really trivial.
Just cant help feeling the way i feel. Guess you gotta take motoring, the good with the bad.

The only good Racoon is a dead Racoon!
Now, before you fire up the flame-throwers, consider this. It's all a matter of viewpoint. Don't get me wrong. I love animals. I really do. I have a dog. I hate even running over a mouse. (well, maybe not a rat) I wouldn't purposely run over a racoon BUT, in a former life, I helped take care of the ex's chickens and if you ever have taken on a racoon with a chicken in its mouth, you'll know what I'm talking about. They are mean and dangerous with a mouthful of razor sharp fangs which they would like nothing more than to sink in your arm or leg, rather than let you take that chicken away from them. So...maybe you'll understand when I say...the only good racoon is..........

Get a DEER ALERT
About 6 months after I got my MINI, I hit a 6-point buck at about 50 MPH.
It did about $14,000 worht of damage (between paint, parts, and mechanics time to reassemble).
You could protect you investment by getting one of these:
http://www.radioshack.com/sm-trailbl...i-2123498.html
It is an ELECTRONIC deer alert (not like the old deer whistles).
This things WORKS - I live in an area with LOTS of deer - not a day goes by without me seeing one, and this device FREEZES THEM in their tracks. Also, it will startle or scare away other animals. (dogs, gophers, wild turkeys - we got them around here too).
GET ONE.....it is an EASY INSTALL (PM me if you need help).
Radio Shack is selling them for under $5.00 - you ca find them on the Web elsewhere for about $20.00 - but it is well worth it!
