You could say I have a grudge. Frankly, perhaps humans should know how it feels to be hunted. I keep alerting hunter dogs when I pass and they tug at me like I'm some sort of downed fowl!

( he lapses into silence after his words, and more gently - )

It's not as if I hate them. I just hate what they can become when they think themselves as the kings of their world.
