Road Accidents

In a busy road just like as a city highway, many road accidents and cases happen. The worst cases are mostly death of car crashes, hit and run, etc. These cases may happen in a busy highway somewhere else even if it’s not in the city. People where so careless and not to worry about road accidents. But there are also animals just like humans that are really careless. They’re innocent in their own but people really don’t care about them when they’re in their wheels. As I thought, there may be a bigger percentage of road accidents involving people than accidents that animals are involve.

Here in a rural place, people live the simplest modern way of living. As a progressing community, roads and highways are present even in isolated areas. There were no road accidents around involving people who lives around this community but animals do. When I’m walking along some roads around our residence, people don’t care about animal accidents across the roads and highways. Usually, these animals are frogs, cat and kittens. Once they hit by a car, without getting any help by the people, roads and highways become their grave.

Frogs don’t really go cross the roads without reasons, but I don’t know their reasons. Frogs don’t have any knowledge unlike us. They have four legs though they are slow jumpers and can’t walk nor run. They are always become a victim and getting involved in a road accident. I always see them lying in their grave just like a paper, a thin paper, no more bones, no more organs, just their skin, just like a paper. Poor frog, people really don’t care about them. You can see their corpse around here when you walk and when you walk further there is another more and when you go further there is another fresh victim. Frogs say “Riiibbbiiitt riiibbbiiitt” but they’re too low to hear of and when a driver saw them, they rev the engine and go to hit them. For any human nature, it was an accident, but how about their nature.

They are just too innocent to travel cross road with hasting wheels. Cats are faster than frogs and obviously, much bigger than them. But, they are also one of the victims of those reckless drivers here though there are fewer cats that became a victim of a deadly road unlike frogs. Same as frogs, the highway serves as graveyard once they dead caused by a hit of a car. Poor cats, lying helplessly on the ground.  Kittens are closely similar to frogs, if their on the top of the list of victims kittens maybe of number two. They are not safe from hasting wheels though they are fast runner and much knowledgeable than frogs. Nevertheless, no one is safe in highways and roads.

There are other lucky animals around here that were not ended up like those from above lying on the road, dismembered. Goats and dogs are more hasty and bigger than them. When they are crossing the roads, drivers blow their horn and let them cross. But unlike reckless drivers, they sometimes hit them but not so fatal.

Humans have rights, all of us have rights. If only they can demand and file a case against those drivers, but they can’t. Yes, they’re only animals but they have also the right just like every people in town. These victims are not in the list of endangered species but do we have to wait ‘til they’re totally non-existing? People must care about the nature, everyone in this nature. But are they’re the one to blame of? Or the reckless people who don’t have any care about the others? They are just crossing the roads. We cross roads.
