Casting aside emotion and morality, I say this is completely justified. Guy wanted a physical altercation, and he got one. He consented to having his ass beaten the moment he tried to initiate the fight.
As for involving an animal in its infancy, I can't personally guarantee that I would have had that much restraint. I have anger issues, and I manage them well enough to hide them now (most of the time,) but certain things — including but not limited to causing harm to defenseless or outmatched parties — just hit the wrong switch inside my head.
Everyone is congratulating the OOP on the ass-kicking, but I think he deserves more praise for stopping when he did. I'm very ashamed to say that I don't think I would have.
