▲{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* [[Kino's Journey|Kino]] apologizes to the rabbit she kills in one episode.
* In one chapter of the ''[[Keroro Gunsou]]'' manga, Natsumi is called in to deal with one of Keroro's invasion schemes that involved exploiting Earthlings' dependency on cattle, which somehow lead to Giroro being turned into a minotaur-esque half-cow, half-Keronian monster and going on a rampage in the Keronian base. When Mom brings home hamburgers for dinner later that day, Natsumi feels inspired to do this trope.
Line 15:
* ''[[Sillage]]'' has a case of "Sorry, but I need your meat to survive" from Nävis on the very first page, while she's taking aim. The Püntas in ''Gearing Up'' have a tradition to this effect as well, to the degree that the yak-like animals walk up to them for slaughter before dying of old age.
* [[Fantastic Four|Galactus]] may count.

* The Clan cats in ''[[Warrior Cats]]'' do this because it's part of their warrior code.
* Wolves from Beyond The Beyond in the ''[[Guardians of Ga'Hoole]]'' series have a thing at the end of every hunt where they lock eyes with the prey they kill. Doing this is apparently an insurance of the prey getting to the afterlife, and if you can't lock eyes with someone, you basically go to hell, as a not-so-unfortunate bad guy finds out.
* The Pahkwa-thanh in the [[Star Trek Novel Verse]]. A reptilian race of carnivores who believe their prey animals have souls, they honour the creatures they bring down and kill.
** In the [[Star Trek: Voyager Relaunch]], meanwhile, we're introduced to a Klingon tradition of thanking your prey. B'Elanna does so while participating in the "Challenge of Spirit" wilderness survival rite.

* "The Sweetest Gift
* In ''[[True Blood]]'' Amy, a [[Fantastic Drug]] addict, blitzed on vampire blood and in the midst of sex with her boyfriend, turns and slurs that they ought to thank their supplier, [[Friendly Neighborhood Vampire]], Eddie "for the gift he's given us." Since Eddie has been kidnapped, chained to a lawn chair in their basement and forced to watch their antics, he replies with a sullen burst of profanity.
== [[Tabletop RPG]] ==
* In the ''[[Call of Cthulhu (tabletop game)|Call of Cthulhu]]'' supplement ''Terror Australis'', adventure "City Beneath The Sands'', Power Boy (who had some relationship with Aboriginal deities) could call animals and ask that they allow themselves to be eaten. If they agreed, he praised their beauty and courage.
* ''[[Werewolf: The Apocalypse]]'' has the "Prayer for the Prey" rite for this purpose.
== [[Theater]] ==
* "Apology to a Cow" from ''[[Bat Boy:
