Roadkill Experiment Shows That Six Percent of Drivers Are Sadistic Animal Killers

He found out that 94 percent of drivers did what anyone in their sane mind would do: keep driving on their lane. Remember that the animals were on the road's shoulder, way outside their driving path. They didn't pose any danger whatsoever to the drivers' safety.

On the other hand, six percent went out of the driving lane to run over the animals. Think about that: sixty out of one thousand drivers actually went out of their way to kill a living thing that didn't represent any danger to their lives—and risking their own lives in the process, no less. Six percent were just cruel because they could be. For their own sadistic pleasure, I can only imagine.

Oh, and two more things:

• 89 percent of the 6 percent were SUV drivers.

• Mark repeated the study "on a smaller scale on a secluded road leading up to a gun club by my house. Turns out, if you're a turtle, snake or tarantula, your chances are almost (but not quite) double of getting run over there."

Like he says, correlation does not imply causation, but I'm sure you people will have a lot to say about this.
