Killing animals for food is not a vampire-specific thing.

Aside from the fact that I might fit into your proviso, you seemed to have missed my point - where I said: "think about the environment people!". The U.S.A., like many other places, has limited wildlife sanctuaries. While cougar (for example) are classified as "Least Concern" - their position at the top of the food chain does mean their status could change quite quickly (numbers are low relative to those further down). One family of vampires might not impact their status, but it wouldn't take many. It is also possible to object to the method of killing - and to the waste of taking just the blood.
But, to bring this back to topic, you do underscore one of the other points of my post. Different people will react differently to the same scenes of violence in a book.
