Not sure why there is a debate here. We are animals. The rest of the animal world is a hunt or be hunted life. The vast majority of animals die from being eaten alive.
All that makes us different from any other animal is our body and our higher level of intelligence. Are we capable of violence? We would have to be, since we evolved and survived. Are we capable of stifling assorted feelings and emotions? Yes, but some better than others.
Regardless of the side of the debate, if it is rational, it should be promoted, not shamed.
