I don't know. I felt pretty guilty yesterday looking at a trapped skunk. Killing the largest mammals on Earth to harvest their blubber is impossible to justify morally in today's day and age, just like it's impossible to justify killing elephants for their tusks. Yet, most humans justify killing millions of chickens, cows and pigs daily. Either one adopts that Buddhist view of no killing animals at all and live by that principle or a Darwinian view of survival of the fittest species and live by that dismissing any moral suffering about this choice as idiocy and hypocrisy. Personally, I was never able to adopt either one of these views over another 100%...
