Think of the smell and sound of a fresh cut porterhouse sizzling on the manifold.
Clutch.
Serious point here. We had a push pull passenger train hit a cow at Polmot between Glasgow and Edinburgh, the train came off the road and from memory, 7 people died. As a result, the Rule Book states that all trains have to be advised/ cautioned through an area where cattle are reported until the Perm. Way guys have fixed the fence or rounded the cattle up and politely escorted them back into a field. Even more strange fact - Swans in the UK are the property of the Crown, as a result you "stop the job" until our feathered friends have flown off or have removed themselves. They are also little bleeders who have a rather nasty snap on them if provoked.

So do I! He would grab a stray cat and head for the nearest railroad line, secure the cat to the rail and leave it for an oncoming train to run over. Of course I would do the same thing, only I would use a hammer and four large nails!! But in truth, as much as I hate cats, I could never bring myself to be that cruel to an animal. You could imagine the stink that would result with a dead cat rotting in the sun!!
