[Oh look! Privacy settings. Is Mufasa getting sneakier? (Open to everyone BUT Scar, Zira, Shenzi and Ed.)]

I had hoped I would not have to warn those living in Paixao. But the time has come for you to be aware. I have done what I can in the past where it concerns the hyenas, yet...

[There is clear disappointment in his voice.]They do no

They don't follow the what?

[he_watches_you]

Circle of life. It is the cycle of all living things.

[divine_storm]

You mean... like things are born and then they die?

Spelling. I can has?

[he_watches_you]

Indeed. For predators, there is a code that must be abided by. Do not kill more than you can eat.

[divine_storm]

I've... never heard of anything like that.

[he_watches_you]

My family has always believed in it.

[divine_storm]

That's nice, but I don't think it can really apply for most of us.

[he_watches_you]

Why not?

[divine_storm]

'cause humans don't tend to hunt for food. We just buy it already made and cook it.

Well, except for the people that kill them for the rest of us, but yeah, we don't hunt.

[he_watches_you]

That does not mean that you shouldn't treat your fellows with care and compassion.

[divine_storm]

Errr, those are two different things.

[he_watches_you]

No, they're not. When my lionesses hunt, they kill their prey quickly and cleanly. Prolonged suffering is avoided at all costs. Furthermore, they do not kill more than the herd can spare.

[divine_storm]

Tell that to the lion that tried to eat me the other day...

I guess if you're hunting for food, but most of the time, when people are out to kill something, it's because they want it dead. Care and compassion... kinda doesn't go well with it.

[he_watches_you]

A lion tried to harm you?

That's murder.

[divine_storm]

It's old news now, but yeah.

Not all the time, but I guess things aren't all that complicated for animals in the first place...

[he_watches_you]

If it happened before I arrived, there was nothing I could do.

You would be surprised.
