❝ It’s all part of the great dance, you see, he thought to the cellar girl, who of course couldn’t hear him. The dance of life and death. The dance that’s going on right this minute all over the world, in African Savannas and Arctic snowfields and the bushes in Boston Common. KILLING and EATING. Hunting and dying. A spider snags a bluebottle fly; a polar bear grabs a seal. A coyote springs on a rabbit. It’s the way the world has ALWAYS been. Humans are part of it, too, except that they let the slaughterhouses do the killing for them and receive their prey in the form of McDonald’s Hamburgers. There was an order to things. The dance required that someone be the HUNTER and someone else be the HUNTED. ❞
