If genocide is deemed an unacceptable and barbaric act in today's society, then so is any type of "contest" killing.
I grew up in a world where the norm is to coexist with my fellow humans, despite their differences with respect to race, ethnicity, gender, age, religious beliefs, sexual preference, etc. So it's just natural for me to extend that same cooperative spirit toward our wild cohabitants. Including predatory organisms.
