Abstract
Animal-killings are considered to just a part of food procurement. I will show a variety of animal-killing and non-killing behaviors among the Baka and the Bakwele of southeastern Cameroon. The logic observed is different from "law of the jungle". For example people kill elephant, but they don't kill centipedes. Logic and ethics of decision making on animal-killing should be attacked further in future.
