I AM a fox. I do not know the words cruelty and compassion. I am a wild animal and only know about instinct and survival.

I am a foxhound. I do not know the words cruelty and compassion. I am trained to obey the foxhunter.

I am a horse. I do not know the words cruelty and compassion. I am trained to obey the foxhunter.

The foxhunter has been taught that cruelty is a sin and compassion is a virtue, and is free to choose.
