" Very few people have the least idea what wild creatures are 

 like. Their notion generally is to shoot them, and then pick them 

 up for examination ; which is the same thing as if some being of 

 superior race, seeing children at play, were to shoot a few at long 

 range, and then turn them over and describe them and consider 

 himself learned in their structure, habits, and appearance" — 

 Jean Ingelow.
