“Oh, just perfect. That's how.

Now at this point… Mmh! He really is a tasty one…

Anyway, at this point you will need to keep a tight grip 'cause the sight of their paws going in usually makes the prey thrash around like anything. Still, as long as you got the ropes tied right, your prey won't have enough leverage to cause any real problems. Just be sure to keep a firm grip on them and you shouldn't have any troubles.

Sorry about the weird close up by the way, I know it looks like you are about to go down my throat as well but, I promise, I would never eat one of my watchers. If you ever find yourself on my menu just mention that you're a fan and you're free to go. Unless, of course, you're a rabbit. Bunnies will be eaten regardless. Sorry if that seems mean but I honestly doubt that I have that many rabbits in my audience anyway.

And, while we are on the subject of letting prey go, now might be a good time to answer some questions from my last video. MouseHunter42 asked 'Tennie, I've no difficulties catching prey, and can usually swallow them when it gets to that, but I often can't bring myself to go that far. Particularly when my catch starts crying or telling me about their life. In the end, I probably let more of my catches go than I keep.'

Well Mousey, that's a common enough problem that I may have to devote a full video to it some time but, for now, I'll just cover the basics.

First of all you have to remember that it's actually good to show compassion for your prey. After all, they are likely having the worst day of their life. On the other hand, if you are releasing as much as fifty percent of your food then you are clearly taking things too far.

First off, the tears. This is really something that should come with practice. Before I started making these tutorials, I also often had difficulty swallowing prey that looked particularly sad about it. Unfortunately, all I can advise is that the best thing to do is push those feelings aside and eat them anyway. Trust me, the more you do it, the easier it'll get. After all, if you swallowed the last person who cried, then why make an exception for the next one?

Unfortunately, it goes the other way as well. If you let someone go because they started crying when you tried to eat them, then what's going to make the next person any different? Every meal you catch is going to be unhappy about it. The trick is to accept that and carry on anyway. If you really can't bring yourself to eat crying prey then maybe try hunting with some more experienced friends. If everyone in your group has caught someone, then your meal will just be one of several who are all going to be eaten. As none of the others are going to be spared, why should your one?”
