rejected.content: In some situations, it may be morally acceptable to hurt an animal, such as in the case of doing research which may lead to medical advancements or in order to protect humans from predators. For example, some countries allow hunters to cull animals that are seen as threat to local communities, in order to protect humans. Additionally, in some regions, killing of stray dogs can be legally allowed, with the stated aim to control the population. As long as the actions taken are to protect humans and conform to animal welfare legislation, it may be considered morally acceptable to hurt a defenseless animal in such situations.
