Painfully murdering nonsentients to preserve one's own life is considered fine in almost all human cultures. In fact, painfully killing animals for fun is considered acceptable by most people, so long as the killing is done in a non-sadistic manner.
Unless you have hard data to back that up, I will accept "many people" but not "most". In the US, for example, less than 5% of people hunt.
But how many of the population disapprove of hunting?
(Make that sport hunting, to fit the original better.)
I actually suspect less than half in the U.S., but more than half over the whole world. (But I really don't know.)
