Wild animals often fight for the
mastery, usually over question of
mates, but in virtually all cases the
fight is over when one yields. The
sanquished can save himself either by.
submission or by flight. What is COM
moner than to see the weaker of two
dogs disarm his conqueror by grovel-
ing on the ground? The victor In a
fight between two cats is satisfied
when the foe flies; he will not pursue
him twenty yards. In either case had
the enemy been Of another race the
victor would have followed and killed
him. rs - a4sl ~, H. IT.

unnecessarily killing ones own kind.
