A butcher slaughters a pig for meat: nutrition.
A Faroese slays whales and dolphins in the North Atlantic every year: tradition.
A chef fries a crocodile to eat: exotic.
A hunter shoots a deer: sports.
A bullfighter tortures a bull: entertainment.
A police hits a wolf with a rifle: self-defense.
A poacher kills a rhino: trade.
A ranger kills a poacher: ethics.
A Baguio local makes asocena: inhumane.
