The ape-man could see no sport in slaughtering the most defenseless of God's creatures for the mere pleasure of killing.
In fact, Tarzan had never killed for "pleasure", nor to him was there pleasure in killing. It was the joy of righteous battle that he loved---the ecstacy of victory. And the keen and successful hunt for food in which he pitted his skill and craftiness against the skill and craftiness of another; but to come out of a town filled with food to shoot down a soft-eyed, pretty gazelle---ah, that was crueler than the cold blooded murder of a fellow man. Tarzan would have none of it
