when a big truck is going at high speeds, its hard for them to stop
and if they do quickly stop, they can easily lose control
its sad the ducks had to die the way they did, but if a few ducks were killed to prevent the truck from losing control and causing the death of a few people, its not that bad
but still, RIP ducklings

i've seen that happen on a highway in victoria heading into Langford on the exit. Two people got out of their car to direct traffic while walking up the exit ramp an old guy in a oldsmobile zooms right by them and runs over the ducks such a horrible sight.

One of my neighbors had an abandoned duckling as a pet.

I hope the SPCA can take care of the mother and the remaining five.
| Not sure if serious. Do you think that using SPCA resources and money could be best spent by helping a couple ducks?
Horrific is the 40 some people killed in the last 24 hours in Mexico
Horrific is what is happening through out the middle east
Horrific is watching a guy get smoked on a motor bike by a big rig and watching his body parts fly in all different directions(seen it)

If it makes you feel any better, I went camping last weekend and woke up one morning absolutely besieged by baby geese. My friends and I gave them some food and they swam away later quacking.
This sort of thing happens...it sucks but better the ducks than any human casualties. If stopping to save the ducks was dangerous...well...then...

It was HORRIFIC in my eyes as well as my passengers, I don't care what you guys think.
Same concept as a dog crossing the street with her puppies and getting run over by a car.

Time to step outta the sheltered world you faggots live in and realize that much worst happens everyday.

| If a few ducks getting run over is HORRIFIC then a dog with its puppies getting run over would probably make your heart explode out of your chest.

Once you move out of your parents' house ( in your mid 30s as is customary in Vancouver) you will discover more horrific things in the world than roadkill ducks.
I hope you didn't call 911 to have the duck ambulance come and take them to SPCA.  | |

Sad to hear. I have a tough time with animals being hurt; accident or not. Yes, I know it's just life and it happens all the time but it doesn't make it easier to deal with.
Hope mama duck is OK.
