That’s why millions of wild animals are killed by motorists each year in North America. These animals are unaware of the danger that awaits them as they cross roads and high­ ways in search of food, shelter, or mates. Here are some ways to avoid accidents involving wild animals next time you’re out for a drive: • Never throw food or garbage from your car. By littering, you may be luring an animal to its death. • Thke extra care on stretches of road where animal crossings are posted. • Reduce your driving speed near meadows, wetlands, or woodlands, where wildlife is usually abundant. This will give you more time to avoid an accident if an animal crosses in front of you. Sometimes, no matter how careful you are, accidents involving wild animals are unavoidable. But remember to use common sense. Never put yourself or your passengers in danger. If you do hit an animal, don’t try to remove it from the road yourself; you could be injured by a passing vehicle. Besides, the animal may be diseased, so it’s a good idea not to touch it. Instead, contact the nearest detachment of the local police or the provincial ministry of natural resources.
