The injunction is not to harm sentient (self aware) beings. This may include higher animals and those as far down the evolutionary scale as you feel are still aware. This is very difficult to determine and so many Buddhists will not harm any animals. All that said some/many Buddhists eat meat, slap at mosqitos and make wear leather.
