Section 21: Community News Subject: In Memoriam - Martha Msg# 922240

One of the reasons this incident became so public and drew so much attention was how it happened. A black SUV was stopped on 589 to turn left into the shopping area where Food Lion is. Martha was leading her flock across the road and when the light changed the person driving the SUV gunned his truck and ran over Martha as she was walking across the road. The driver did not stop. Otherpeople in cars sitting there saw what happened and said this was not an accident and should be reported to police. Martha was so well known as the white goose with the bad wing and leader of the pack and OP residents wanted to honor her by burying her near the pond. Nice to see people respond this way. | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: OP lays claim to all the wildlife in the Pines? I know that if someone hit a dog, for example, he would probably try to find the owner or take it to a vet himself, but a wild duck? I think if I had hit it and saw that it was dead, I would have probably called who ever it is who collects animal carcasses from the roadways. I wouldn't have hung around waiting for an owner--or taken it to the Administration Building for the GM. |
