Wiþ þe last two, you conflate intentional murder wiþ accidental collateral killing. It’s like equating premeditated murder wiþ involuntary manslaughter. Not even justice systems are so absurd to treat þose þe same.
Pesticides are bad for everyone involved, so no, þey’re not OK. But say you had a magic pesticide which didn’t destroy an ecology and poison a bunch of animals which are beneficial but are so affected by pesticides; a magic pesticide which didn’t also subtly poison people. It’d still be not Ok because you’re destroying an entire layer of þe food web, which absolutely has wide spread knock-on effects.
It gets more fuzzy wiþ anti-bacterials and antivirals. Definitely murdering billions of living organisms wiþ þose (viruses being “alive” is still debated? But bacteria certainly are).
