The answer is as follows:
The stoker, whom the deer family's ancestor Deer Spoon met, was a super pervert. He humiliates Spoon, calls him obscene names, beats him with his hands, and "goes through people's back doors," all with a disgusting justification. Hearth is the most perverted person in the book, and he has no regard for ethics or morality. He is beastly and what will give him satisfaction can only be beastly type behavior, not the behavior of a person with a spiritual nature.
