Ever seen a smashed squirrel or a crushed Cockapoo in the middle of the road? Yeah, let's not have something like that on your conscience.

If you see any animals in the area, slow down. If there are livestock in your path, and someone is there to move 'em out of the way, follow their directions and only proceed when it's safe to do so. Unless you forgot to stop at the store to pick up dinner and one of those cows looks particularly delicious.
