Indeed. Jains for example will not kill rats which get into their food.Some will brush their path lest they step on an insect. Some will strain their drinking water lest they swallow and kill some small floating insect.
As for natural selection: I have long been under the impression that meat eating was an important factor in natural selection: Hominids who became predators rather than just grazers obtained far more iron, which allowed their brains to get bigger more quickly,which enhanced their chances of survival. Have I misunderstood?
