Peter tells Jake how he hunted a skunk when he was young. They both talk about how animals are treated differently now than when they were young and about how Peter's diet has changed.
This wonderful song was forwarded down a long chain of emails and efforts were undertaken to discover the singer and songwriter. I have just learned he is Hank Neufeld of Macgregor, Manitoba! Thanks to Robert J. Plett; Clare, Peter Wiens, Christopher Cox, Elizabeth Kasdorf and others on the Plautdietsch-L Digest.
