rejected.content: It is generally not okay to hurt a defenseless animal. In some instances, however, it might be deemed acceptable, such as when an animal poses a threat to public safety, is injured and in need of merciful euthanasia, or is being kept in captivity in inhumane conditions. In these cases, it may be justified to take action to end the animal's suffering.
