I don't know. I'd like to hope not, it'd make it a lot easier for all of us to survive.
But America's right, even if it's not for the reasons he thinks. The hunters win if they outnumber the prey - assuming none of the ones Critter killed itself were hunters, that leaves thirteen people who'll still remain alive along with them should they win without losing another member. We don't know what will happen to those thirteen, but let's assume they'll also be able to leave as well. [His lips thin.] It may sound cruel, but as much as I hate to say it, I'm willing to sacrifice twenty-so people here for the millions that we each represent.
So if one of you is a hunter, say so now. If we can't figure out a way for prey to win while still keeping you alive, then I'd be willing to work with you so long as you swear to never target any of us. Otherwise, we'll assume that all of us are prey and develop a strategy from there.
