I've seen few car drivers mercilessly running over dogs most with absolutely no regard for the animals' life. Nothing like that with the bikers. Bikers do swerve off or stop if they're going slow but the car drivers dont seem to care. Sad.

The thing is that this country is full of people who think they are the lord of the streets and can do anything they want to!
they dont give a damn to what happens to the animals who accidentally come on the road ,
their mentality cant be changed in a jiffy until some external forces are applied on them! I hope you can understand I am saying,India has the longest written constituition in the world ,but tell me who gives a damn about these laws?
Everywhere there is corruption.
Anyways back to the point you cannot change the mentality,people will do this things until they feel guilty!

Rahul...yes you are right...these people who rides and run over an animal doesnt even turn around to see what his condition is...forget about having a bit of sorrow for the injured animal.
You know how I feel, I feel like tying them around on road and then runing over them again and again...and thenh asking them ...Hey %$*)&*^% how u feeling?

Only because these animals cant scream, cant abuse, cant call for help doesnt mean that we dont respect them. I make it sure that I do slow down or atleast shoo the dog away before me or anyone can run over it or cause an accident.... its really saddening to see that we as people dont respect lives of other living things... which is what we are facing in our day to day life......
Global warming, sunami, floods, droughts and all natural disasters.. science can do the best and the most impossible thing..but hey nature bought us down to this earth and we cant mess with her, if we do the tolerance level will be seen and then we never know what nature can do when it retaliates..

well god give rest to the soul of all the animals who die in road accidents and give some sense to us humans who think they are above all.

I know some examples where people have lost their eye or some limb trying to save some animal on road. While I try to save their lives, I must admit I am no more particular about it.

In a car, it's a different experience alltogether. A dog or a goat will not make you fall off if you hit it at speed, but on a bike, everlything is trying your skill to keep the balance on two wheels. You say cars don't stop for crossing dogs, what will you prefer, a car in front of you going at 80kmph suddenly harsh braking and swerving all around and may even hitting you, to save a dog who is too stupid to realize what happened?

I love animals bro, but I love my life too. I understand this is a sensitive issue, but please think from both sides. I personally brake hard and honk loud to avoid hitting any stupid animal, but I do not hate the ones who don't. Heck that will be one less menace on the already dangerous road.

a reaction from a celebrity or a politician or from a rich person---
we can hit poor people and we can go free........ we have the power to kill animals and just walk free........ and animals on roads........ when-where-why....... oh now we have to care about animals which runs on roads........

this may be due to corruption or maybe due to anything........ people hardly care whats running on roads........ they have money and contacts and power and other things required to get them out of that mess........

so Jiski Laathi Uski Bhaish (Power belongs to whom who has a Gun)........ but people hardly thinks that these power will not save manking from the wrath of the Mother Nature........

This is what I would have done,if i were the king of the world

LiveLeak.com - Another hanging in the name of the religion of peace...

Warning:This is a video of publicly hanging in Iran,may offend some people here.

This happened yesterday night, while I was returning from office with my wife as pillion. I was not riding it fast. A dog that was sleeping on the dividers suddnely jump on to the road, I had to really brake hard to avoid the animal to come under my bike. Dog just missed by a a whisker...I thought that I ran over it.

What would happen If I have applied the brakes a second later, Dog would have certianly got killed, and Me and my wife would have fallen off. Thinking practically, I would obviously try to protect my wife and myself with little compromise on killing some animal, Ofcourse there would be lots of guilt that I could have avoided.

Still, Its not under our control to avoid all such things. And India where roads are narrow, people are more along with social animals around, these things are common. It basically boils down to the priorities that we do at such situation. I may be selfish, But I would definetly dont want to see myself or my loved ones injured.

I think the main motive of the original poster is not to tell that we shud stop killing animals accidently but realise and accept that if you kill someone you are responsible for it as well.

Accidents can occur anywhere anytime. Once I was riding to a G2G and a dog ran across the road. An auto was on the left side and I couldn't see the dog running across untill it cleared the auto and came right in front of me. I hit it and fell down. Thanks to god the poor creature was fine and ran away. I got up and told myself to never accelerate or cross till I am sure that everything is clear from both the sides. The accident was unevitable. It had to happened. Neither I knew that someone might run across the busy road and what to say about the dog. He did what he had to. But, I realised that probably if I was't overtaking the auto the accident wouldn't have happened. But, then again how many time you expect someone to run across on a busy road?

But, yes I would definitely want to get hold of the people who are so ignorant to watch the road. Once I saw a small puppy crossing a road. I could see it but the auto in front of me couldnt. The puppy was like 100 meters away and the auto was like midway. He could clearly see the puppy but I think he was too busy transporting the passengers. He went right on top of the puppy. And I had to see him die in front of my eyes. I stopped to see if it was alive but no signs of movement. He just gasped for breath and died. I wished I cud catch that auto wala and beat him up. But......can I really do that?

That is really sad! Damn!

Animeher I am not talking about ppl like you... I know I am myself a rider and yeah had lots of accidents as well and i know there are situations which one cant avoid and when we cant avoid we cant.....simple but there are people who actually do it with there full senses and do it purposefully and I am just against those people...

those who are responsible always ride like that as well

man no normal person wants to kill anyone uselessly ....
yeah i agree there are some but not all

imagine a animal ( mostly dogs and pigs ) come in front of you when ur driving on a road or a highway at some speeds
you brake hard .... save that animal
someone who is behind you will definitely crash into you
and who is behind him will be surprised and crash into him

lets not use the word animal... lets use life
for one life how can you risk so many lives

yeah if there is a option .... most will prefer not to do it

like wise then you should start making threads for things like
stop killing animals for food , etc

then you should probably not even ride bikes
because it creates pollution and risk human , animal , plant and earth life
contributing to global warming

OT:
you tell to wait and have patience ... that one bike manufacturers will release our dream bike .... do you realize from how long people are waiting
we never ask for a 800 cc super rocket
but a decent bike which call be called a tourer , a race track tool etc

PS : no offense to you rahul ... hope you take it in a constructive manner

I try my best whether in my car or on my bike to save the animal. Mostly they also have good reflexes&can also hear horns&understand you are trying to stop.
I have not yet gone over any animal so far, touchwood. It may be unavoidable in one out of hundred cases.
This is India&we should be very very cautious when we ride/drive, since we need to expect the unexpected!
All said, I don't have words to express my disgust for the people who run over people/animals purposely. I would like to place them in front of a speeding lorry&make them realize it!
