IS ‘KILLING’ A CRIME?

I READ IN THE NEWS FLASH “A WILD CAT DIED IN A MOTOR CRASH”. IF IT WERE A POOR DOMESTIC CAT SAND WITCHED UNDER THE WHEELS, WOULD IT HAVE BEEN SO SIGNNIFICANT IN THE NEWS COLUMN?

Who loves a butcher or a slaughterer?

The image we have about them itself is something dreadful.

What is about an assassin who kills another man for some material benefit?

An executioner is viewed with suspicion.

He does the act of capital punishment for the maintenance of the justice.

Dogcatchers are doing that for the welfare of the society.

Except the assassin, all others are doing the feat as a way of life accepted by the society.

Still we have the feeling that they are doing something sinful.

The murderer also perpetrates the act as a votary but with out any jurisprudence.

Killer is looked with antipathy and aversion only.

Infact we hate them and believe that their place is the Erebus.

What about a policeman shot a wanted criminal declared at large.

How do we feel about our soldiers, who killed mass of enemy corps in an encounter?

We applaud and garland them with rewards. Right?

In this context, killing has got a divinity, exaltation and social recognition.

Killing is an action in which the life of the victim is separated from its corporeal body. Men take the life given by the God for which the killer is rewarded! Wonderful.

Mind it, he also has a family waiting for his safe return from the field.

We have every right to slaughter our domestic animal in pretext that law allows that.  

If killed a wild animal, what would be its consequence?

See the contradiction, we can kill the domestic animals, but not the domestic men.

We are forbidden to kill domestic men but allowed to kill the enemy corps.

What is the biological difference between the wild animal and domestic ones?

Or what is the social distinction between the ‘flesh and blood’ of our men and their men.

Is killing a crime?

Is killing not a crime?

I am really confused.

Can you give a descriptive answer?
