Sep 18, 2020 at 17:15 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | I don't think yours is really a suitable context for saying what you can or can't imagine. You're just being asked whether you'd do something for fun. If you can't imagine doing it at all, presumably you wouldn't do it for fun. But suppose you were asked Would you enjoy being rich if you won the lottery? Saying I can't imagine winning the lottery! certainly wouldn't mean you wouldn't enjoy being rich, so why should saying you can't imagine killing animals automatically imply you wouldn't enjoy doing it? | |
