Dumbass.
Your quoted section is not discussing carp.
Your quoted section is discussing university policy regarding animal experimentation.

And, since you asked, no, I don't swat mosquitoes or kill roaches. Through the lens of my buddhist philosophy, I feel I shouldn't. But that is not anyone else's business, and it isn't my business to tell anyone else to kill or not to kill. While I can council against it, I can't tell them not to.
However, if i was, say, the administrator of a university, I would say that nobody performing an animal experiment for the university can have death as the end result of that experiment.

The conundrum is not an ethical one; it is a regulatory one.
