My sister said that people don't care when they run over an animal, but they would never run over a child that's in the road. Apparently, she was wrong. The news, as usual, was bad news: deaths, car crashes, and robberies. One of the victims was a six-month-old baby who was struck in her carrier while her mother pushed her across the street. The driver, who had sped through a stop sign, kept driving. It was a hit-in-run, the kind that happen to animals everyday. People don't find it uncommon, or even disturbing that people do this to animals all the time. I stopped when I hit a purple bucket; of course I'll stop for an animal or person. I couldn't help but wonder how many animals he's killed on the road. If he could hit a baby and keep driving, I assume the number of animal pancakes is probably up there.
I've come to the depressing conclusion: if people hit-and-run babies, there is no hope for animals.
