[The Hierophant]

Fending the animal off was self defense. Hunting it down later and killing it (for nothing more than being curious about intruders in its territory) is plain old savagery. Humans are so tough and badass when they have their guns arn't they. I mean, they could have even tranquilized it and transported it elsewhere. But no, that'd be too much effort. Just kill it. Bastards.
