How? I don't see that in what he says (I see other problems which I mentioned previously). It's not "do not kill under any kind of circumstance, willingly or not, consciously or not". There's a lot of nuance behind the simple, short Buddhist precept "I will refrain (or abstain) from killing". Precepts are shortly formulated to help you keep in mind a huge deal of theory and, more importantly, practice behind them. And they are explicitly not abstract axioms to be dogmatically held without any kind of practical context of reality.
