I saw someone swerve to hit a box turtle once. It was safely(ish) on the shoulder and I was looking at it in my rearview mirror, and the guy behind me swerved to hit it.
I also saw a dead duck under suspicious circumstances not real far from the turtle, but many years later. A truck had driven off shoulder and sunk deep. That left deep ruts that collected water, and a pair of ducks decided to call it home, right on the edge of the shoulder. I watched them for a 2-4 weeks every time I drove by. One day, the drake was dead at the shoulder edge. He could have gotten hit in the road, and rolled there, but knowing piece of shit humans as I do, someone probably aimed for him. Both of those fuckers should be executed.
