Well, things could have been much worse. I did not know this until today: "At the time Czornobaj had come to park without leaving her hazard lights on as well as leaving her left door open". That was a mistake, and could be the reason for a custodial sentence, but I suppose she was rushing to help the ducklings.
The remarks of the prosecutor are very telling, however: "Responding to the sentencing, Prosecutor Annie-Claude Chasse told: ‘What we hope is that a clear message is sent to society that we do not stop on the highway for animals. It’s not worth it’." That is chilling, very chilling. Compassion has to be abandoned, it seems, when on a motorway. Just run them over. O tempora! O mores!
