I have the same thoughts about hitting squirrels with my car.

Not that I do it on purpose or feel good about It, but I tell myself that at least the survivors will pass on their survivor traits to the next generation.

You'd think we'd have accidentally bred smarter deer by now

Deer kill more americans than any other animal. If anything they're becoming more top heavy and more lethal to make drivers hesitate before hitting them. Eventually evolution will make them explode and send a cloud of shrapnel out when struck by a car.

Evolution will eventually turn all deer into adorable looking mooses with nokia cell phone exoskeletons.

Hehe, that was an unintentional Nokia reference on my side.
