Yes, thats right. Killing an animal isnt murder, which is defined as a person killing another person. I dont think one should kill for fun, but i also dont thnik that an animal killing rises to the level of murder.
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.

the fact it was a dui tends to make it rather less than accidental.

i ate shrimp for dinner; does that mean i'm an accessory to murder? the wolf was killed legally-it's not murder. it's not a human, no law was broken.

a friend of mines dogs were recently murdered. He went to get food, came home and his two dogs had their throats slit and disembowled. If that isnt murder, I dont know what is. Whoever did that should never be a free person ever again.
