That same animal (I dont care the breed) would have more then likely (dogs that chase one bike usually chase all bikes, or most) have kept chasing bikes. Would you feel bad if it was your pre-teen daughter about to get taken out??
You did the right thing, your larger and more sophisticated brain allowed you to react and come out victorious. You performed a deed that served a greater good, albeit to save your own skin. Natural selection I say, good job.
Are you serious?
Empathy and intelligence is what seperates us from the animals, not much else.
Why are we more important than animals?
A good deed you say, how can killing an animal be a good deed, regardless of the animals intention, it does not know better, but we do.
I think you need to review your priorities. We could all do with some more empathy towards other people and animals.
Natural Selection is false.
Your proof of that.
