Cute, baby animals should not be afforded any difference in treatment from ugly, old animals. There is no difference.
There is no bloody difference in killing a baby animal, vs. an adult animal. None whatsoever. Defenselessness is a moot point at best- because then you're basically saying if the animal fought back a bit more, or was harder to kill, then it would be ok. Nonsense. People just go crazy any time a baby anything is the center of an issue.
Also, I've never seen the point in saying, "we use more of this animal if we kill it, so it's justified" when referring to cattle or pigs. You're still killing it. I don't care if you use every last ounce of the damn thing, it's dead. It's not less dead because you also ate its cooked flesh in addition to using its skin, or vice-versa. This is why there is no sense in the "only the pelt is used" argument for stopping it. Death is death.
