Woman who stops on road for ducks is found guilty.

In that case it's different. People can have the bad reflex of braking or swerving around an animal that is right in front of them. Someone could do it without any counscious thought; it's not the same as stopping your car in the lane to get out. I think it would be much less likely to convict someone who caused an accident for that

Question:
If someone meet a moose on the road but manage to break in time but can't continu, then something bad happens like that tragedy, I guess they wont be accused, right? Same thing if its a deer. Same thing if its a bear. But what if its a goose, dog, cat, fox, wolf, sheep, ? What if I cross one of them and can't do anything else than stop completely or to hit them? Seems like I will have to crush those animal just because i don't want to be accused like that woman. I won't have much time to decide if i stop or not. Thing happens to fast. To bad for them....The law is the law and people are looking for guilty in every death.

You are talking of very very different scenarios ,then with the duck lady .
Sadly in her situation because of her high negligence people died .
If there is a Moose on the highway everyone needs to avoid because the Moose body would destroy the car you are on board .
