What is Rainsfords attitude toward animals at the beginning of the story? What evidence can be find to indicate his attitude changes during the course of the story?

In the beginning of the story. Whitney asks Raisford if he believes the animal feels something besides instinctual fear when hunted. Rainsford responds, "Don't talk rot, Whitney," said Rainsford. "You're a big-game hunter, not a philosopher. Who cares how a jaguar feels?"

After becoming and experiencing the status of prey..... Rainsford likely feels a bit more empathy for the animal.
