Save Things by Killing Them - It's Just Crazy Enough to Work

Esteemed Members of the NSC,

Please join in our effort to save the less fortunate creatures of the earth. Those poor animals have no capacity for reason. They walk around this earth without a soul, and some without opposable thumbs. They need us. Some of those with which we share this earth have already reached the point of complete destruction. They've been wiped out, extinct. This doesn't have to happen. It doesn't have to be this way.

In order to help, you simply need to play along with the game described below. If you do, you could be saving a species.

The game is called Road Kill Rampage. The object of the game is to strike and kill animals on the roadway with your vehicle between 9/17/2008 and 10/17/2008. Here's how the game is scored:

For an opossum kill, receive 1 point
For a squirrel kill, receive 2 points
For a peacock kill, receive 3 points
For and ostrich kill, receive 5 points
For a woolly mammoth kill, receive 10 points
(Remember, Killing Birds of Prey and Drunk Lawn-mower Riders is illegal in some states. In states where this is allowed, the animals will be scored by gross weight, lawn tractors included.)

There are really no rules except that you must strike and kill the listed animals with your vehicle while travelling on a legitimate roadway. Send us photos of each kill so we can award your points.

Thanks to our sponsors, Crock, Inc., for donations allowing us to put together a prize package for the winner. The points leader as of midnight on 10/17/2008 will receive, among other things, a 10% off coupon to Dickie's Taxidermy in New Melle Missouri to assist in the preservation of one of the specimens.

If you are wondering why we would support such a cause please visit our sponsor. Crock, Inc. put this whole thing together for us. Believe it or not, it does serve a higher purpose than just simply being crazy.
