Good news: we drive more animals to death!

And drivers of hybrid and electric cars are dierenbeulen.

It means that things are going well with the animals in our country, and that the population of the various animal species is growing. That is the conclusion of the mammal society, who let us know that there is a one-to-one relationship between the number of [animals and the population.

According to the estimates we drive in the Netherlands a total of around 10 million animals dead, translated as the 27,000 animals per day. An example is the roe deer. In 1950, there were 5000 of those critters around in the Netherlands, nowadays, that there is 110,000. Not so strange, therefore, that we more often hit the drive, the traffic image is still “something” has changed since the fifties, namely. According to Foundation Wildaanrijdingen the Netherlands (jup, they really do exist) we drive today, each year about 10,000 deer over. Useful tips about how to prevent this, you can find here.

Also, we are demolishing each year, hundreds of thousands of hedgehogs (a.k.a. Ferrari-killers), and millions of birds. That has to do with food scraps that we have around roads leave. These attract not only birds, but also mice. These mice display by birds of prey attacked. Partly this is about 40% of the kerkuilensterfte due to cars.

What also does not help, is that asphalt is quieter and tires becoming less and less sound. The largest dierenbeulen drive, however, hybrid or electric cars. Animals hear these quieter cars not (or too late) to arrive. We have always known, what a bunch of psychopaths.
