[QUOTE="Kelladoor, post: 113313777, member: 475573"]Actually, it is murder; however you want to spin it. And I'm not caring about "turning" anyone. This is just the truth. Humans spin shit to suit their biases but animal-killing is unnecessary and murderous. What's the difference between killing and murdering? Just because it's an animal? An animal is still a person - ask any pet owner. You kill a person's pet for no reason and it's murder. The only real difference between murder and killing is linguistical.[/QUOTE]
He does have a point. By definition human on human is the only way murder can occur . If a shark ate a fish, would you say that the shark murdered the fish? If a lion ate a human, would you say that it the Lion murdered the human? If you're talking about the actual word murder then no, a human is not able to murder an animal.
I have two dogs, I love them but they aren't people... they're dogs. Someone can kill them but not murder them by very definition.
