My Submission:

I take pride in being your worst enemy.

A fire broke out in the woods, and instead of helping the poor animals fleeing from the blaze, you see it as a hunting opportunity.

I see you behind those trees, waiting for a frightened rabbit, buck, even bird to come your way so you have a clear shot.

Easy targets. 

I see you.

My shot is also clear.  

But, unlike you, 

I will shout a warning.
