Roos seem to be serious problem, as deer can be. I was wondering, wouldn't it be worthwhile to have some kind of system that keeps animals away from main roads? Maybe a sonic system like ones to keep deer out.

Jeez. I hate animals for this reason. Small animals, rabbits, squirrels, birds. They're ok. Go bigger and then you have problems. The Canadians have moose and deer and so do we, the Arabians have camels, and you guys have kangaroos. The South Americans have alpaca.
Seriously, I wouldn't mind a kangaroo steak or something like that.
Good thing nothing much happened.

That would be nice. Yeah, I have a phobia of two things while driving, besides my normal obsessively insane fear of a car crash of any kind.....police, and deer. It's actually quite amusing for my friends, when I'm driving and see a deer, I always start freaking out yelling obscenities at the deer in a rage like no otherOriginally Posted by IWantAnAudiRS6

Your average Eastern Grey is about 6ft tall. However, the Red Kanagroos that live in central Australia are f**king massive!Originally Posted by Mr.Tiv

At least there aren't any moose They can reach 12ft In Newfoundland, I thinkOriginally Posted by 2ndclasscitizen
Good thing there's not many around here either
The thing is, there's not really much you can do about the roos. Big new highways are fenced in such a way that they can't jump over easily, but they still do regularly, and they've been moving into urban areas more and more. You can buy devices called Roo-Shoos that are high pitched sonic devices to drive them away from your car. (But people always leave the damn things on in town when parked and I can freakin hear them)Originally Posted by PerfAdv

Moose and camels are rather big animals too....
Heres the front end destroyer from Australia, a very stout animal
Speaking of roos, a mates mate lost his life just before the Christmas period, he was riding his road bike and hit a roo in the adelaide hills, they definetley are a menace
He will be sadly missed

Either that or a wombat.
In the US here, we have elk, deer, sometimes bear at night... and my mom hit a cow. Lucky she was driving a minivan. It jumped off a hillside right in front of her Previa.
The town I grew up in was a pretty small town, and the majority of people had hit an animal at least once in their life :P (Usually deer, they're _dumb_)
I never hit one, but one hit me. I saw one on the side of the road, and it was looking skittish, so I inched slowly past it, and it turned around and ran straight into the side of my car, shook it off and jumped down over the hillside.
I was like, "You bitch!"
I dont if I'll make home tonight
But I know I can swim

That would suck, to hear it. And if sonic devices are constantly sounding on roadways it could become very annoying for people as well. I can't believe that with all the technological advancements, we can't keep critters off the roads...Originally Posted by 2ndclasscitizen

Shouldn't cows be fenced in? I'd be a bit worried if a cow was let loose roaming around.
