Default Tought question, if taken seriously

Guys,

I had a very interesting and almost complex question asked to me by my 6 year old niece.

“Uncle Sean, would you still hunt deer if you could hear them talk?”

At first I laughed and was thinking in my head of two bucks walking in the woods talking about the chipmunk race they just watched and how it was a bad day at the track (not knowing it is about to get worse with me flinging an arrow at it).

But then it got me really thinking, deer, like most mammals have some sort of vocalization/ language, and if I could wear some sort of listen device that I could hear what they were saying would I be able to hunt them?

Honestly guys, I wouldn’t be able to. If I could hear what they were saying I could not pull the trigger.

But I ask you, if you could and really think about it, could you shoot the animal if you could understand its language?
