Letter: Life and death on the open road
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Spring is celebrated in poetry, prose and cliche as a time for new life. However, as can be seen from walking down many roads in our countryside, it seems to be better described as a time of death and destruction.
Every morning, on quiet roads, many residential, in and around any country town can be found hundreds of corpses of badgers, stoats, rabbits, frogs and toads, all exterminated by cars.
With a little more care from motorists I am sure that this annual slaughter of our native wildlife could be curbed .
