Which animal is it not acceptable to kill ?

Just watched the documentary "Phoque , le film " (loosely translated - Seals, the movie, although the french word for seal - phoque is an antonym for a celebrated english cuss word F) .
Its' purpose is to expose the hypocrisy & misinformation of the "animalist" movements that annually swoop down on the ice floes off the Magdalen Islands to protest the seal hunt.
The result being, that canadians are affixed with the label of baby murderers by foreigners who preach hign minded ideals, while hiding any fact that would contravene their own righteous view of what's right.
Indeed, it is strange that slaughterhouses or abbatoirs in Europe or the U.S. are never picketed by these groups. Maybe it just that cows & pigs just aren't as cute as seals. Maybe it's because of the knowledge that most europeens & americans would NOT contribute to such a battle. Maybe it's because those industries would be a financial match for "animalists" groups in debating the subject of the food that reaches our plates.
I reserve further arguments as the debate flows. I do not wish to call any one ignorant or willfully misinformed, but I am tired of the Powerful people lording it over poorer people just because of their ability to do so.
And here we go ....
So what animal is it not acceptable to kill, whether it be for its' fur, for food, or for survival.
P.S. Those who are ideologically ham-strung by reality (from both sides) should refrain from posting as they may find facts hard to deal with.

If an animal is endangered, then it is unacceptable unless the survival of a certain culture of humans depend on it. Humans come before animals. Everything else, IMO, should be fair game.

You made a good point. What's the difference between a seal and a cow? Cuteness. The hypocrisy of the animal right movement....

This is indeed a tough one.. I love all animals, but I also I love to eat meat. Hypocritical? You bet.

Let me take that one step further: what is the differance between a man and a fly? nothing.     we are just animals, and animals kill animals. Um, I'm different than a fly.

I think that is bad kill animals that are not dangerous,or kill animals for example like fight of cocks,or dogs or bullfighting (corridas de toros),the corridas or bullfighting is too cruel,because the bull suffer a lot... only in  few countries is legal:Spain,France,Portugal,Mexico,Venezuela,Colombia,Peru...perhaps Ecuador.

FAT AND GREASY WALRUSES, ULKULKULKULKULK!!!

Um, I'm different than a fly. by good luck and a couple million years.   and you have the right to kill other species in order to stay at the top and not let the fly get above you. nah, I let the butchers do that.

Dont you love that we have specialization.     any way Its probably not a butcher but millions of imigrants standing along a conveyor belt with knives, a meat grinder and a sterilization machine that does it.
