On the subject of cows yes they are a pain when driving. Anyone visiting a farm in a rural area will have most like encountered a cow on the road. And getting rid of them is hard. They feel safe in a herd and is you tick them off they can do damage to your car and perhaps anyone in it.

I also have some advice for anyone who goes to vacation in Africa and goes driving around seeing animals. When watching a documentary on Lions a certain American couple decided to watch a Lion and a Lioness in the courtship phase. If you have to do this please keep the windows up so the male Lion does not charge the car because the couple want some privacy which is not what this couple did and barely escaped with their lives. They have the video to prove it.

I know the didn't hit the Lion but the consquences just for going near it could be just as fatal.

I agree with what Jlombardi13 said about animals. Also to clear things up I hit a crow in other words a bird, not a cow. Even if I did hit a cow it would have broke more then just the windshield.

Hiding only delays the inevitable.

One time I nearly got run over trying to prevent a snake from getting runned over. I had to jump to the side of the road when this @$$hole purposely swerved to run over the snake I was trying to save. I HATE ANIMAL RUNNER OVERS!

(well.... the guys who do it on purpose)

...is it possible he/she may have been swerving to avoid running you over also? (i dont doubt for one second the driver wanted to hit the snake.)
Its just ,no offence intended, but surely you should put yourself over the life of any animal, even a pretty cool one like a snake... sometimes you have to look after number 1, or everything goes.

I think it was very noble to try and avoid the snake. I surely do not want to kill an animal on the road despite the fact pigeons are a pain. If I was in your shoes I would have got the guy to pull over and then slap him.
