The squirrel that you kill in jest, dies in earnest.
All good things are wild, and free.
Wild animals never kill for sport. Man is the only one to whom the torture and death of his fellow creatures is amusing in itself. The unspeakable in full pursuit of the uneatable. The average beast of prey is a decent creature who merely kills for the sake of food or in a fight against an enemy. There is no Sport in the world like mountaineering, its pleasures are not marred by the slaughter of innocent animal life, nor discomfiture to any of our fellow-beings.
