What roadkill says about the insatiability of human speed
- eggy 9y agoIt had me recall the storied practices of Jainists who step carefully and slowly to avoid harming and killing insects underfoot. A main tenet of Jainism is Ahimsa or non-violence.
- fallinghawks 9y agoSpeed, perhaps, but population for sure as well. There's been a citizen science study at UC Davis going on for many years now called the California Roadkill Observation System (CROS) http://www.wildlifecrossing.net/california/ http://www.wildlifecrossing.net/california/ It has maps of roadkill sightings, makes for interesting viewing. It used to allow you to select by species but unfortunately no longer.
