swerving out of the way was not an option - i saw it in time to see what color it was, and then things went "oh *thud* shit".

the only thing that concerns me about it is that it might have died on the road and become an obstacle for future drivers. should I have just 911'd it? i had no idea what an animal hospital or non-emergency popo number was, and no way to get one at 2am. i honestly didn't really think about calling someone at the time, just didn't cross my mind.

i am not concerned about it suffering. It died. there is no possibly. if it did live for any time at all, I doubt it would've survived until a cop made it there to shoot it.
