I'm at odds with myself over posting this.

I was crossing a street from a MUP at a crosswalk to join a different street in the proper lane. While sitting at the light I noticed a mid sized bird hopping around like it was injured. When the light turned green I was going to go over and get it out of the lane it was hopping in to. What happens? A driver yacking on his cell phone runs over the bird's head.
Ugh...
What a depressing sight. I don't particularly like birds or dislike them but have a soft spot for animals in general. Crap....
