It is generally not okay to hurt a defenseless animal; however, there are certain situations where it may be acceptable. For example, hunting is often considered acceptable as it is seen as providing food for survival. Some cultures may also view it as a way of showing respect and giving thanks to the animal in question. Additionally, it may be necessary to kill an animal in order to protect humans from a dangerous situation.
