The "fish" bit threw me off a bit, made me think of Jaws; maybe it should've been "deadly cetacean" or something.

Interesting study; they should've broken down the vehicle type among those who deliberately hit the animals - the results would probably be less surprising than the animal types.
I recently re-read that book, specifically looking for important imagery for my entry in our local library's Banned Books Week project:

As you can see, I didn't use the turtle imagery.
