Don't underestimate the words "good" and "evil"; it's extremely difficult to explain them clearly. It's evident that when we speak of good and evil, we are referring to ethical concepts confined to human society, not including the animal kingdom or even the entire natural world, which encompasses plants. Imagine a person robbing and brutally killing another for money; we call this an act of evil, and the court can sentence them to death. But if they kill a chicken or a pig, it's not considered evil; it's merely a normal act of improving one's livelihood.
