I can't kill a bug... I shoo them out of the house.

No its wrong to kill for fun, I couldn't do that.

to kill anything for fun is wrong and its bad karma I cant even kill a fly I do my damdest to get it out of the house and when I see worms I pick them and put then in earth to stop them drying out never kill anything

Well, we kill flies and mosquitoes, but I don't like killing animals. I have three chickens, only two lay, but I wil not kill the chicken which no longer lays. All my chickens live a good life and die of old age.

I sure understand  your confusion, novagod

its ok to kill for survival as man has from the start

Actually, the bible wording got changed. Originally it read thou shalt not murder. It did not say kill. We are allowed to kill animals for clothing and food, that has never changed as far as I know.

No, it is never OK to kill for fun. I do not agree with bullfighting. I think that's a barbaric "sport". I see no honor in it.

We have a coyote and a bobcat problem here. A pack of coyotes will bring down an elephant. I kill them when I can. Several neighborhood pets were eaten by them. It's just a matter of time before they attack and possibly eat a child.

Bad people need killing also.

I think it is OK to kill animals fore food, but not for fun, and never people. (like in IRAK, Lybia, etc.)

that sad  to kill animals if they do anything ....how could people do that

I dont believe in killing for sport, even worse, fun. I think its barbaric.

kill to survive, I see no honour in game fishing, or the murder of anything in the name of "sport" I nearly got run over by the schoolbus recently saving a swamp pheasant that had been hit by a car and left to die on the road, there is also a turtle I save frequently (I know its the same one as he has a cracked shell) I called him lucky, my daughter calls him dumb shit !!

Depends on whether you are a meat eater? Go green, then you won't and it is given that Jesus fed the people with 5 fishes and 7 fishes, which meant that they had to be caught and since out of water died a "Natural" death of suffocation. The old testament had many animals slaughtered for sacrifice. Lambs were slaughtered to mark the doors when the angels of death visited. None of these spoke of slaughter for sport and entertainment. Therefore yes, It is not okay to kill, either people or animals for sport. Killing for survival stretches the rules. Murder in any form is unacceptable, even if in self-defense which has to be proven to be acceptable.

It would be wrong to kill for the purpose of killing. Some people do not understand the purpose of deer hunting. Without the permits for this type of a hunt, deer would over populate and starve, along with spreading disease among species. This is a fact.

You would best educate yourself on these questions by contacting the Field and Game Division in your state. Controlling the population of animals is the only way to preserve their survival. I know it is hard for some to kill an animal, but fortunately the sport of hunting is there to supply hunters with the ability to help and feed their family with their efforts on this matter. It is a necessity. We all want to preserve the future of all animals of the world.

Lest he without beef .cast thy first bite..

I don't think this is a religion or morale subject. I don't se why humans shuld not kill other animals for their needs - food mostly - nor am I not against hunting although I am not a hunter or fisher.

yes !!

We haft to define what killing is, if someone is killing for the sake of pleasure or an act of selfish for his own greed , than I would call this killing with no conscience! Again if someone kill for a defense purpose or kill for the survival of his family as food , Than I wouldn't call this killing, only a sacrifice in order to sustain life rather and not killing.

Is it OK to kill but not people

I say yes it is and their are laws regulating seasonal hunting for food.  Hunting any creature for recreational kill and let lay is imoral AND illeagal, depending on the animal. 

 Years back, I recall those who liked to kill groundhogs at LONG distances with highpower scope equiped rifles.  It had a high WOW factor for the idiots.

Some human beings should not be permitted to continue a life of freeliving.    Those who, with purpose, distroy the lives of others,  Criminals, dictators and their offspring civil war and ethnic cleansing, crimes against humanity.  But WE have designed laws of retrobution which includes kiling humans guilty of these crimes against humanity.  

None of these laws allow vigilante vengance outside the law.  Although considering some of the crimes vigilanteism has its appeal when 'to right a wrong'  comes to the emotional surface. 

its ok to kill flies mosquittos and pandas and old people

tell that to a soldier in combat.
