1. Pick true or false and argument when false:
         Predators should always have unwilling prey.
False
Many predators enjoy a close bond with their prey.  This is because some prey have a chance to come back, or are willing to give themselves in a time of great need.
         
         If you have the ability to swallow someone whole, 
         you’re a predator.
False

There are plenty of herbivores who could potentially swallow someone whole.  Even if they did accidentally, they are still not a predator.

          Fear is a good tool to make your prey submissive.

False

Fear is just as likely to make things even more difficult.  There are other, gentler ways available.
 
         When interacting with willing prey, you are allowed
         to take advantage of them in a negative way.

False

While there is nothing preventing one from doing so, it is best to treat them with as much respect as one can.  Only do those things which they are agreeable to.

         Accidentally hurting your prey with your claws or
         fangs doesn’t require an apology, it can happen to 
         anyone.
False

Any sentient predator understand that sometimes pain is enevitable.  But they also understand that the prey must see it is not their wish to cause any more than eccessary.

3. Situations

3.1 While voring, your prey suddenly has a change of heart
    and decides they want to fight for their freedom. What
    do you do?

For my own safety the first thing is to extricate the prey as soon as I can and restrain them.  After that I have to explain the reasons that I cannot let them go and why it would be best for them not to draw it out longer lest I accidentally hurt them.  After letting it sink in for a while I would resume voring them.  If thgey still fought I would have to keep my muscles clenched tightly around them to restrain them and even use my arms on my stomach to hold them still for as long as neccessary.

3.2. Explain the theory behind an intimidating and ferocious 
     predator and a very willing prey. How would those two
    opposites react when faced with each other? Argument.

The predator would react one of two ways.  If it was very hungry it may not even notice anything but its own hunger and devour the prey, possibly violently, without a second thought about it.  In this case the prey might have a sudden change of heart about it.

In the second case, the predator might become unnerved by the display and start asking questions of the prey.  This would let the prey say how it felt and why it was willing to give itself in such a way.  Since the predator was already willing to stop and find out why, it is likely it would act very differently when it didn't need to be aggressive to get its food, and the prey would get the gentle predator it wanted.

3.3. When faced by a rival predator, who is bigger than you,
     how do you try to make them give up their prey to you?
While this is not normally something I would try unless I really needed it, for a start I would do so from a safe enough distance that it couldn't grab me if it wanted to.  I would have to display that I knew they were larger and stronger than me, so that they did not think I was challenging them.  Then, I would have to try to convince them that I needed it more, and that with their size and strength they could surely catch more, especially if I helped them with it afterwards.

3.4. You’ve had quite a large meal and suddenly another  
     willing prey walks up to you. Feeling you can’t eat 
     anymore, but not wanting to disappoint the creature, you
     decide it’s best to:

Invite them to rest and talk with me until I can eat them, if they still want to do it at that time.

3.5. You have just eaten about three preys, and you notice a
     fight breaking out between them. How do you handle this?

I hold them still by squeezing my arms around them and ask them why they are fighting, and based on what I hear try my very best to work out the problem with them if I can.

3.6. It is your prey’s first time, and they are extremely  
      nervous. How do you soothe them?

I will explain to them how I will keep them as comfortable as possible, and that I would never willingly hurt them, and be careful.  All in a gentle voice and while stroking a paw over them, looking them in the eyes to make sure they know I mean it.

3.7. Your prey wishes to be digested, even though you feel 
      it’s not the right thing to do. What do you do/say?

I will make sure to discuss it with them very thoroughly, making them anser every little detail as to why they want me to do so, and give them all of the reasons that I don't want to do it.  If I cannot convince them of any other course of action, to where they say they will just find another predator if I will not do it, then I will do it if only to ensure the next predator they would have gone to does not hurt them.

3.8. You feel your primal needs popping up as you take a look
     at your prey. You get the feeling to ‘pleasure and be
     pleasured.’ but you are uncertain of the prey’s thoughts.
     What do you do?

This is a subject that would have to be broached carefully, because if it went the wrong way it could cause the prey fear and disgust towards you.  I would have to make references to my interest in them, never directly saying what I wanted, seeing how they felt about me in turn.  Only if the responses were all positive would I directly ask if they were interested in it, and I would not be angry if I was turned down, nor would I let it change how I behaved towards them when I ate them.

3.9. You have swallowed a friend of yours, and have just 
     settled down for a nap when another friend of yours comes
    along, asking to be eaten. However, you know your guest
     can’t stand the person in question, what do you do?

In order to avoid any sort of mess, I will tell them that the prey I just ate needed some time alone and that I needed to be alone with them for a while until they felt better, all the while not mentioning any names.

3.10. You’re gulping down a prey when you feel that they may
      be too large for your maw to handle. What do you do?

Since choking is not something I enjoy at any time, I would have to carefully work them back out, and explain to them why I pushed them back out of me.  If they asked if I knew anyone who might be big enough I would do my best to suggest someone for them.  If they were disappointed in me for not swallowing them I would explain what might have happened if I had swallowed them, which would be sure to calm all but the most selfish prey down.

3.11. You’re facing a very unwilling prey, and your patience 
      starts to wear thin. You don’t want to hurt the prey,
      what do you do?

I have to give the prey the speech about why I have to eat them and the reasons it would be dangerous for me to let them go, and about how I don't want to cause them any pain I don't have to, and that it might even feel good if they just relax and release their fear.  I would look them in the eyes when I say this, and speak gently, giving away none of my impatience to them, perhaps stroking them with a paw.

4. General questions

Other types of vore can be enjoyable to others. Explain your opinion on this matter.

While I myself do not participate in all of the forms of vore, the ones that I do participate in are very enjoyable to me for my own reasons.  So while I cannot hope to understand why some enjoy many other types that I do not, I understand it is not my place to question this of them, just as it is my understanding that they will not question those that I prefer

Describe your ideal prey in a maximum of 6 sentences.
It's probably a meerkat that is somewhat unwilling and yet also able to be persuaded into being willing.  It's probably a little worried, but nothing some stroking with a paw and gentle words cannot quell.  It's curious, about many things, and wants to learn about the predator's kind, and teach the predator about its kind in turn  It's willing to give trust, and likes to make others happy.  It's open minded, and when it knows it will feed a predator it wants to enjoy it as much as it can.  It also wants to make sure the predator enjoys it as well.

Explain the difference between an unwilling predator and an unwilling prey. (Oeh, tricky)
An unwilling predator is one which is forced into a circumstance in which it does not want to vore something, but it manages to come to pass anyway.  An example could be that the predator is so hungry it's too weak to hunt any longer, and a friend gives themself to it as food, and even though it tries to stop them, it's too weak to resist.

An unwilling prey is one which is very attached to its life.  It's full of fear of things like glaring eyes and drooling jaws, sharp teeth and claws, and gaping throats.  It dreads pain, and it's full of desperation.  Its mind cannot think of anything but all the things that it wanted to do, all the things it could and should have done, and all the things it might yet do if it can just find a way to escape or plead its way out.  It's often in shock, its mind blank, retreated into some faraway place inside of itself beyond fear or pain.

Do bears make good predators? Argument using 3 statements.

Bears are known for being omnivores, but they enjoy meat very much.  They have large jaws for eating and a large size full of endurance for catching prey.  Their sense of smell is not just for show, and their claws are not just for digging either.
