" Has man the moral right to deprive these, his fellow creatures, of
their God-given lives? Yes, and on these grounds: Let us see how the
case stands. I take a little wool and feather and tying it in a
particular manner upon a hook make an imitation of a fly; then I throw
it across the river and let it sweep around the stream with a lively
motion. This I have an undoubted right to do, for the river belongs to
me or my friend, but mark what follows. Up starts a monster fish with
his muderous jaws. It makes a dash at my little Andromeda. Thus he is
the aggressor, not I; his intention is evidently to commit murder."
