Hell, the cowboy who drove drunk and wrecked, causing the death of his friend wasnt even charged with murder, but with manslaughter.

The guy on the Cowboys didn't do it intentionally. When it's an accident, I usually wouldn't consider it "murder".
With regard to killing an animal for fun, I know it's not considered murder in a legal sense. I know a person can't get charged with murder for killing an animal. However, I still think it's appropriate to call it "murder". If I had a dog and some guy poisoned my dog or shot my dog, is there really a big difference whether I use the word "killed" my dog vs "murdered" my dog? I think both words pretty much have the same meaning to most people.
