I'm quite sure than many a homo sapiens baby has become eagle food over the millenia, if mom is not guarding closely.
On killing cute little animals....anyone seen the scene in "Cold Mountain" when the lead character is on his journey and comes across the old lady who cares for him? She is self-sufficient with her many cute little goats... The line is something like, "Good for milk, companionship, and sometimes, meat", while she caresses one goat in her arms, while slicing its jugular. Then they flash forward to later on and they are both eating goat's meat at dinner. Now that's different because it's survival, whereas we don't need to kill any animal to survive, let alone a fawn, but it just shows Art's point, that morals and standards which are perhaps repugnant to some are quite standard and acceptable to other cultures and subcultures, in our time and times past.
