 Slytherin by heart
"A light stun has harmed no one. It's just enough to have them unconscious. Really, how much are you going to panic or overwhelm an animal by binding it or immobilizing it?" He mentally thanked Rin for not thinking he'd lost it. "Think of an animal like a young child. Now, I wouldn't want to go stunning a young child, of course, unless for whatever reason it is completely necessary. However, if you were to simply immobilize it, without it knowing what is going on, it will panic. They don't know what is happening, and suddenly they can't move. You terrify them. Same with tying one up. How would you like someone to suddenly cage you or throw a rope around you? None of us like being stunned, of course, but an animal will run on fear and instinct. And it would be better to wake gradually to a situation, such as being in a room with food and water, than it would to be carried around immobilized or struggling against conjured ropes. If you'd treated a young child like that, they would scream and cry, even if just mentally. The same goes for your typical instinct-based animal."
