In this chapter, izabella tells the audience that the first lesson they must learn in killing is fortitude. She says that many people view their work in disdain, but that she sees no difference between the common butcher and the pigs that defend them. The way she sees it , the target is a guilty person, and has something to warrant his or her death. The target is innocent no matter how he or she tries to convince him or her otherwise. It's funny, she says, because even the people that you love have "some heinous sin" that they try to hide from you. That's one of the things that makes them special. They don't get "hang up" on the lie of human life, he says. They like to think they still have moral advantage because they treat other people like game. It doesn't matter if they kill women or children, the devil does not care. This is our job, he tells us.
