You can't subscribe to "optional" principles.

So if you go on a Safari because you're
an animal lover, and the tour guide is
attacked by one lion in a pack of lions.
Do you shoot that lion with his rifle or
not? Mind you, if you don't, what will
end up happening is one of the other
lions will attack the group. The keys
to the automobile are in the pants
of the man getting attacked by the
lion. So, you either go against your
principles and kill the animal. Or
let the animal eat the tour guide
keys and all, and wait for the rest
of the pack to eat the group?
