I cannot imagine being faced with this choice, because I would never put myself in this position, but if a freakish accident happened and I found myself in the wilds of Africa or Alaska, or floating in the Pacific, for instance, no, I wouldn't. I would try to run away, or hide, or scare it away, but I would never kill it.
I would rather be dead myself and it would be my fault, for placing myself in its world. Most humans seem to think they have the right to expect all environments to adjust for them, and I do not believe this is just. We might be the most powerful and selfish and destructive of the animals, but we are not the most valuable, because we are selfish and destructive.
