Yelm's protection certainly doesn't extend to humans. When they're wrong they deserve killin'.
You don't expect Solar worshippers to unnecessarily hurt birds or horses though. (Of course one person's notion of necessary is different from another's). I thought this might extend to griffins as well. Maybe not though. The myth in Anaxial's roster tends to suggest griffons are pretty important to Yelm but maybe a griffon wrote it!

Of course, Glorantha is not a world of absolutes.

Everything gets hunted by someone. (I just don't think Dara Happans or Balazarings make a industry out of it. Ritually though? For greed or power? Sure).
