I understand your feeling...
I met this kind of incident once. I was driving and the road was clear. I didn't see anything in front but all of sudden, I heard some sound coming out from my back tire. I thought I just ran through a stone or a hole. Unfortunately, I was wrong... I looked at by back mirror and saw an animal struggling. I stoped my car immediately to have a look on what is going on. I actually ran through a kitten which just ran underneath my car. I came to realize why the kitten ran underneath my car later when I saw the mother, the kitten was playing with the mother and accident ran out. The mother looked at the struggling kitten. I felt so sorry to the mother. I was there until the last moment of the kitten. I also realize that it wouldn't make it to the vet. It just past away in a few minutes.

After the kitten past away, I drove back and find some digger. I returned to the kitten and burried it nearby. I was so shock that day and I almost caught a few accident...may the poor soul rest in peace

Well, I wouldn't agree with you. Animals are innocent but not human. I would rather avoid an animal and knock the motorcyclist instead. There are a few reason why I do so...

1.) I can repay back if it is not a serious accident.
2.) If that accident involve life, I still can repay my sin in the jail.
3.) Human is the worst...

What if the fact is turn the other way round...
I ran through the animal, I don't care and I got through with it. I sin a lot that cannot repay. I would turn up to be the worst idiot!

Both of us stand a different point of view. Those feeling is you feel for yourself. Try bringing the feeling in the animal world... won't you think it would be the same? Nobody feel for them doesn't mean you can take for granted.

There are no right wrong or right, black or white between our point of view. It is a grey area which won't give a clear solution forever...

Well, I understand very clear before I made the statements above. I also predicted someone will sure to reply it. I already have the same thought as you very long time ago but I have the conclusion which I think is the best. You just have to think about it yourself. There is nothing worth of prolong this arguement between which is right, which is wrong... just think...

P/S: Don't worry, you didn't offend me as I already know the answer before hand... try to stand on my point of view and think why I think the different way.

You can just refer to my previous post. Either you just mere replying without having second thought or you just simply won't accept other ppl idea. Whatever you think I'm in, it is your personal thought which I'm completely different from what you said.

To answer your question, avoid and ram to a trailer... I would just die. No need to further explain. No one to blame, blame only myself of being careless. Always the self incur the most damage compare to other. I choose to knock the motorcyclist rather than animal because the one is going to suffer the most is me, myself, on no matter what happen later rather than just avoid responsibility by knocking the animal and say "it is just an accident".

P/S: I'm quoting someone message. And he said someone swerve left and right just to avoid the animal and almost knock down a motorcyclist. It is not regarding a half dead animal that has been ram for the 1st time and then you continue the second ram.

sigh... your statement is as pathetic and sarcastic as usual. There is no point to express myself further, since you refuse to understand. Well, I agree with you that "say is a lot easier than do it" but hey, don't judge a book by it's cover. If you don't know me, don't judge me!

For the question, save it for yourself, since it is worthless to answer

Congratz~ with your theory, a new monk has been born... to ease your satisfaction, ya, you bursted my bubble but so? What are your trying to proof here? Let me ask you something simple, do you think that monk won't be stepping an ant accidentally in his life? If the monk really is/was, perhaps the monk know how to fly. What you are talking is totally impossible to do! What do you expect me to be? A monk? Well, I think you are thinking too much. Like what cantonese said "twisting around the bull's horn". Let me rewind back to the original question. This time, I'm going to draw a clearer picture for you to see.

Question : While you are driving and suddenly, there is an animal (dog, cat or whatever...) jump out of no where. What are you going to do? Avoid it? If you avoid, you are going to knock on a motorcyclist. So what is your decision? To knock down the animal or the motorcyclist?

My answer : The animal has 10% of surviving. 90% is death. Whereas the motorcyclist has 50% of surviving and 50% is death. I choosed to knock the motorcyclist because he has higher chance of surviving. Simple!

Now, what will you choose? Perhaps you are choosing to end the animal's life since you are caring and loving ppl. Why don't twist around and think that the animal belongs to any family. It is as important as human life because it is already part of the family. Don't you think the family will be sad? It is also easy for you to say rather than do it. Since there is no rules stated that knocking down an animal will need to go to jail. You will just pass without worrying any trouble comes to you. Perhaps, no matter how much I emphasize, you will still not understand. Perhaps you haven't had an animal as a family member. Perhaps you are a sadist that animal's life is consider worthless. Perhaps you can continue to protect human since you already mentioned how "good" human is.

Maybe I shouldn't ask you so much questions. Maybe you will start twisting again . But whatever answer you choose, save it to yourself. I would just pass. I will shut up and watch. Perhaps to ease your satisfaction, you will hope to see I kill a person because of avoiding animal and end up in jail.

P/S : Don't you think whenever a person is ready to drive/ride a vehicle, he/she should be prepare for accident (either he/she knock ppl or ppl knoch he/she)? Don't you think it is better not to drive/ride? Because it is safer and reduce accident. It is even better if all the ppl don't drive! Nobody will get hurts and you no need to worry about losing your precious ppl. Oh ya, I already started to be like you twisting around with illogically definition Btw, did you notice that I had been reiterating my point over and over again? But this time is much more clearer thanks to you

Sorry to hear that. I can understand your feeling since I saw almost the same scene before.

It is the sadest thing when you can only see with your helpless hands. I feel the same too

Well, if you know your car and your skill well. You will have your natural reaction. Also, if your car does not have any ABS, most likely you will swerve to random direction with emergency break.

Lizards are known to drop off their tail to confuse the predator. Their tail will still grow back but I'm not sure about monitor lizards.

I found it...

Monitor lizard do not drop off their tail to defence against predator. It is taken from this source.
