Woman who helped ducklings found guilty

[TOG]

On June 27, 2010, Czornobaj stopped her car in the left-hand lane of Highway 30 in Candiac, exited the Honda Civic and tried to rescue a group of about seven ducklings. Within seconds, a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, driven by André Roy, 50, with his 16-year-old daughter Jessie on the back, slammed into the back of Czornobaj’s vehicle. Both died as a result of the collision.

common sense. I wont assist any animal if its unsafe

jason's right. I don't want to see any animals killed for sure, but human life is more valuable and important. I do not swerve to miss animals, I will slow down and try/hope not to hit it, but when you start swerving or stopping to save it, things like this can happen.

I have heard of this before.As much as you love these animals you have to use common sense.I have come across a deer walking across the street.I put on my emergency flashers and gradually show down and let it pass.But....the person coming the other way might not stop.I have actually read that some people go for the animal and deliberately hit them.
