nah, hemingway was a shotgun-guy, buckshot to off oneself is a bit of a statement. not open-casket michael jackson shit, that guy and kobain made it clear they wanted out, chicken's not a 000 shell to the head guy, especially in canada. hemingway's cats were just background, he liked killing animals when it came down to it-a man loyal to cats accept it's a cat and wants to kill mice which is part of being a cat. wanting those billfish and the dangerous game in africa as much as he did is farm cat/dog owner stuff-chicken's not the type to be driven to go out and decide to kill a 1000+ bluefin or cabo-in-past marlin or sailfish then go get gangrene in africa killing much more sentient and frankly, difficult animals when there's deer that work for 98 percent of hunters.

plus, chicken interacting with a charter captain for 72 hours or professional hunter for ten days is unfathonable. funny. but nah.
