"Back when I was teaching myself English, I used to call guns [i]pow makers.[/i] And whether they can talk or not, you don't just pick up a wild animal! Did you even know she could talk before you pointed the gun at her?"

"Uh, yeah. And I would do the same to a human if they broke into the dojo."
-
"So... Do you just shoot at every bird that lands here?"
-
"Birds are unintelligent animals, and should be treated as such. If someone wants some fried bird, by all means they should just kill the nearest bird. However, this creature demonstrated slight intelligence, and I treated him as an intelligent species. That means he is subject to the law. If you would like to make the argument that he is an unintelligent animal, then why is it such a crime to be killing him? If he is an intelligent animal, then he clearly broke the law."
-
"Okay, first off, it's clear she's a female from her voice. Now, I'm not sure she even understands the concept of law. Just because something can talk, doesn't mean it instantly knows the laws of wherever it is. Now, how about you try helping me figure out why she's here at all instead of attacking and threatening her?"
-
"Just because one does not understand the concept of law does not put them above it. If a child murders someone, they are still punished. But if you can communicate with her, by all means do."
-
"Well, whether they now it's law or not, a child should still know murder is wrong. This is only trespassing."
-
"And assault."
-
"Only because you pointed a gun at her and then picked her up against her will. If anything, you assaulted her first."
