Answer:
"Did not make me condone cold-blooded murder," finished Rainsford stiffly.
"But they are men," said Rainsford hotly.
Explanation:
These sentences were said by Rainsford when he found out that Zaroff took pleasure in killing men for fun. Zaroff believes that this is just a different type of hunting, and that men are the most interesting prey. However, Rainsford argues that men are not meant to be killed. In the first sentence, he refers to this as "cold-blooded murder," while in the second sentence he argues that they are men, and therefore, should not be hunted. The fact that he condemns this action shows that he was also not justified in killing Zaroff.
