The only defense the weak have is "to make the bird of prey accountable for being a bird of prey". The human lambs - the weak - weave a web of social relationships and moral judgments around the strong body, tying it down in doubts and second thoughts. The reason Nietzsche scorns the weak is not that they are weak, but that they lie about what they are doing. Instead of admiting, "I am afraid", the lamb bleats, "I have a soul".
