I don't believe that killing is justified within Buddhist values or disciplined practices however I think it occurs and by Buddhists due to their current inability to resolve some practical issues without inadvertently killing and a difficulty implementing the ideals within their current consciousness and lives.

I really liked this video from the Dalai Lama that is simple and direct and speaks to the bigger social issue of killing such as war:

Dalai Lama: Peace means Happiness

And this one, which also is humorous and talks about the smaller individual issues around killing for example, mosquitos:

Dalai Lama: Happiness, Compassion and Mosquitos (funny)
