Charles de lint. Wolf Shadow (№ 89108)

Everyone needs food, wolf, Puma and eagle is not smaller than a rabbit, deer or trout. Even trees and plants can't exist without taking the lives of others. Nature is not kind and not fair. But just because we have to live in this world with each other, violence has no justification, no forgiveness. And when you take something generously given to you by others, bless them with a gift, accept it with respect, give the man his due. Always ask before you take, thank, taking.
