Mike: Your memory isn't working. Have you forgotten when we used to hunt together in the back
streets?
Friend: You mean when we used to get up on the garage roof with some bricks and when the rats came out , we'd get them?
Mike: Yes , we used to spend many a sporting evening that way.
Friend: But you can't say something like that was hunting.
Mike: Why not? And to our shame , we didn't even take them for food or their skins for clothes. We only did it to enjoy ourselves. As I remember , with your keen eye and strong arm , you were very successful.
Friend: But they were only rats. And everybody knows that rats are no good. That's why when you're mad at somebody , you call him a dirty rat. You don't call him a dirty duck or a dirty bunny.
Mike: True , a rat is a rodent , but so are the rabbit and many other cute little animals. So it is possible that you killed a 44th cousin of Mickey Mouse or even Bugs Bunny.
Friend: Maybe so , but I'm not going to apologize for killing them , the dirty rats.
Mike: How heartless! Some of them may have been loving mama rats , or caring daddy rats. Think of how many of their little ones you have made orphans and the childhood trauma they suffered.
Friend: You're using the old trick of mixing apples and oranges. I'm talking about fur coats.
