Lost Eye or Michael Jackson Nose

Would you rather lose an eye in a fireworks accident or get mauled by an animal and end up with a Michael Jackson nose?

Considerations:

• Michael Jackson's nose? Yes, his nose (or lack thereof). Assume that it comes with none of his other oddities (paleness/cleft chin/singing talents/high pitched voice/predilection for sleeping with children).
• What kind of animal? One capable of mauling you.
• If you only have one functioning eye at present, you would end up blind.
• Assume that your breathing would not be negatively affected by a MJ nose.
