What is the term for the murder of rabbits?

The killing of any animal -- including rabbits -- for food or food is called "slaughter." If the rabbit is killed because it's very sick or injured, and killing it puts it out of its misery, the term used is "euthanasia" (or, in slang, you "put the rabbit down" or "put the rabbit to sleep"). For any other killing of a rabbit, "killing" is usually the word used. The word "murder" specifically means an unlawful killing and isn't generally used in reference to animals (unless you're trying to make a political point).

No. Murder (homicide) is killing another human being illegally. It does not apply to animals. While killing an animal is not considered murder, it can be considered animal abuse if you physically abuse, starve, or do anything to purposely hurt an animal for sport or amusement. Practically all states and localities require a license for the hunting of animals.

Killing someone's pet is also against the law and yet a person is rarely given more than a fine or short jail term for doing so on purpose. If a person feels that the killing of animals and people are the same they have a serious problem with there ethics and are in need of help


Hunting of animals?

No, murder is defined as a human killing another human. Animals are fair game.No, it isn't. "Murder" is defined as the premeditated killing of another of the same species. An animal's ability to feel pain or emotional stress has no bearing on the matter at all, distressing as it is to contemplate."Slaughter?" Yes. "Killing" is also acceptable and accurate, but not murder. The term has been misappropriated by people who want to humanize animals and demonize those who hunt them.
