I go camping and do touring on my bike and just as the article says, you are in a better position to sadly observe the carnage. It’s also sad when looking at all those cars and trailers on camp sites.
As someone that’s aware that my passage in nature will be destructive, I can never comprehend how some people can choose to “be part of nature” by driving to a camp site with an SUV. I already kill snails, caterpillars, snakes and frogs while cycling on my bike. At least I can see them and it makes me aware that it happens. I don’t drive a car so I can only imagine that nobody will notice running over a frog. Drivers are “sealed away from their sins”. And that may be part of the issue, as I know plenty of vegans that will drive a car and forget about the innocent raccoons and deer.
