Hunting II

Some alien species not only are descended from hunters but are still hunters.

Merseians say, "Hunt well." (See The Bible And Merseia.)

Ramnuans say, "'May you ever be swift in the chase...'" (A Stone In Heaven, VIII, p. 136)

Ramnuans who are not hunters, herders or Seekers are given less respect because they neither kill their own food nor range freely.

Ythrians hunt but wish each other good flight or fair winds forever.

For a succinct account of an Ythrian kill and a disgusting account of a kzinti kill, see Hunting.

Kaor, Paul!

And in human history, nomadic, hunting peoples have looked down on settled, agricultural nations.

As for the Kzinti, their table manners are regrettably lacking in refinement!

Ad astra! Sean
