Oh no. Unfortunately, Barsoom's resources are limited, so we can't actually keep such creatures as the blind white apes or banths -- a type of tiger, if you're from Earth -- in an environment that would be humane. But we hunt, regularly. For sustenance, and in some instances, to protect our communities.

After a moment, she blinks and comes back to him. ]
