To observe a flock of verr might be soothing, but I saw little in it that would be likely to be denominated amusing or enjoyable, a spectacle, or such. - (Plunder of Gor, Chapter 59, Sentence #49)

The verr, the domestic verr, is a placid, contented, gregarious, grazing beast, raised for meat. Flocks of verr might figure in bucolic pageants or dramas dealing with the romances of shepherds and shepherdesses. What other contribution to an entertainment might be expected of verr? What else could be their role? Too, these were familiar verr, not the related beast, the larger, belligerent, territorial mountain verr I had heard of, horned and agile, which are dangerous to approach, particularly on precipitous slopes. To observe a flock of verr might be soothing, but I saw little in it that would be likely to be denominated amusing or enjoyable, a spectacle, or such. But I did not know, at that time, much about the feeding habits of Kurii. The Kur, in its variations, of course, is essentially a carnivore. I have little doubt that it stood at the top of the food chain on its former world, a world about which we know little, other than that it was destroyed or rendered unviable. - (Plunder of Gor)
