The fact that the one deputy made the other promise he wouldn’t kill it, suggests he had some reason to believe the other deputy would kill it. To me, this suggests he’s done this kind of behavior before. I wouldn’t automatically assume someone who asked to hold a baby rabbit is going to kill it.
I don’t think the rabbit-killer understands the gravity of swearing to God.
That’s a huge mistake.
THANK YOU!!!
You are exactly right.
