Sir Charles Napier gave up sporting, because he could not bear to hurt dumb creatures.

[1410] Such also was the character of Sir James Outram, pronounced by Sir Charles Napier to be "the Bayard of India, SANS PEUR ET SANS REPROCHE"-- one of the bravest and yet gentlest of men; respectful and reverent to women, tender to children, helpful of the weak, stern to the corrupt, but kindly as summer to the honest and deserving.

Moreover, he was himself as honest as day, and as pure as virtue.
