In none of those examples were people harming/killing babies for the sole or primary reason of "harming/killing babies is fun", so they aren't counterexamples to my principle.

Which examples do you think I have in mind that you are so confident about refuting them, given I've not actually told you what they are yet and only alluded to them by describing their properties?

This is a really strange way to argue. "I have counterexamples to your argument, but I haven't told you what they are, I'm just leaving you to guess–and you've guessed wrongly"

You need to look into war dogs of the spanish conquistadores. Know to snatch babies from their mother's lap and eat them on command of their owners.

Anyway, your whole argument is weak. "because this one very specific thing may never happened, it proves my point" while you're the one drawing the specifics and its definition. You're basically just going against all of philosophy and politics and anthropology.
