And I recalled how some humans, during the Man/Kzin wars, used precisely this kind of unthinking aggressiveness to good effect AGAINST the Kzinti. You might call this using cunning instead of raw ferocity to get one's prey!<br /><br />SeanSean M.

The TIME humans need for dressing and preparing say, venison, for eating also shows how different hunting is for the two races.<br /><br />SeanSean M.

Many human beings also enjoy hunting....Kaor, Paul!<br /><br />Many human beings also enjoy hunting. But, not quite in such a primevally primitive manner as the Kzinti.
