Just so you know:
(from wikipedia:
"Genocide is the deliberate and systematic destruction, in whole or in part, of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group"

So it's inappropriate to apply the word to the killing of animals. Since this is fantasy we can extend the definiteion to the killing of other intelligent species, but certainly not killing animals. Nesingwary is simply a big game hunter. The Peta parody is pretty dumb and completely out of place in the setting, but I'll reserve final judgement for when I actually encounter them in the game, maybe it'll be funny.

The mammoths being killed by the loot crazed poachers in Borean Tundra are sapient. They even have a quest giver who telepathically talks to you.

Now, if animals can talk and give you gold for performing tasks, then killing them is different from murder how?
