The life.
I'm in the situation where I tend to animals and I say I'm far from the best at it. This is not to say I don't try, there's just a lot of competion for my thoughts and time. In the farther past I have certainly been harder on the animals than I am now. There will forever be room for improvement. If I were to kill an animal it would be due to ignorance and/or neglect. I could pass the responsibility off to someone more experienced, or even one who wants to do the job more. Instead I forge ahead, attempting to learn. Shooting an animal is not at all found in my cards, so much so I'd stand back and watch an animal wither away and die. Where I feel I'd cross that line is shooting an animal for food. In today's modern world I have yet to be put in such a situation.
