If primal people had such feelings and ideas about animals, how could they hunt, kill, and eat them? . . . They viewed prey animals as equals and, in some cases, as kin. An Eskimo hunter’s statement reveals this feeling: “The greatest peril in life lies in the fact that human food consists entirely of souls. All the creatures that we have to kill and eat, all those that we have to strike down and destroy to make clothes for ourselves, have souls, like we have, souls that do not perish with the body, and which must therefore be propitiated lest they should avenge themselves on us for taking away their bodies.”
