I'd rather take the animal out clean. Most strays are in dire straits anyway ( I've got a highway rescue, Daisy, who is great ) and statistics tell us the swervers:
1) Get hurt a lot worse than that, often killed;
2) End up hitting the animal anyway, and it runs away to die somewhere.
Don't swerve, don't do it. Get a car with Xenons instead.
