Don't you remember the movie "7 Years in Tibet" where they aren't able to
make any progress building because the Buddists were afraid about killing

Yes, and that is a true story. It is a Buddhist belief, Mahayana
Buddhists anyway that, every living thing has once been our mothers.
We have once been every living beings' mother. There is no beginning,
no first life, no end. All of life, every manner of life, is a
potential Buddha.
