Early in the story Rainsford feels animals have no feeling or concept of being hunted,

"Don't talk rot, Whitney," said Rainsford. "You're a big-game hunter, not a philosopher. Who cares how a jaguar feels?"

Later in the story, Rainsfor discovers what it feels like to be hunted by Zaroff,

Then he ran for his life. The hounds raised their voices as they hit the fresh scent. Rainsford knew now how an animal at bay feels.
