Edited by Engrapadora: 11/21/2013 12:28:20 AMThe FDA values a human life at $7.9 million ([url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_of_life#Estimates_of_the_value_of_life]source[/url]). The value of an animal is hard to determine because there are many species. I will use the average of the value of several common farm animals (cow, horse, chicken, sheep, pig), domestics dogs and cats, animals very commonly hunted (deer, goose), and the average value of common fish (tuna, mackerel, and salmon). Cow: $1642.03 Horse: $2,200 Chicken: $20 Sheep: $250 Pig: $100 Domestic Dog: $250 Cat: $150 Deer: $500 Goose: $50 Tuna: $10000 Mackerel: $10 Salmon: $70 Average value of a generic animal's life: $1270.17 So in order to be a murderer, you must kill an average of 6,220 animals.

it's never murder since murder is a human killing another human, but it's still wrong. hurting an animal at all is wrong.

Killing an animal isn't murder.
-
there is no amount for me for me
-
twenty seventy bajillion
-
So according to some people here, I'm a murderer for jigging with live minnows?
-
0, arrest everyone
-
[spoiler]Killing any animal for any reason other than food or because it's a threat is murder IMO[/spoiler]

It depends how cute it is.
-
One, provided that the one animal killed is a human.
-
I would consider it murder if you kill an animal for no reason. Just because its not human doesn't make it worthless. Insect pests are one thing but if it's not a threat don't kill it!
-
2 or 3, assuming they're crows.
-
I just killed a deer today so according to everyone here I am a murderer?
-
No such thing as murdering anything than another human. That word is used so loosely that it's meaning has become obscured a little.
-
There isn't a number since murder is defined as the killing of a human being.
-
Everyone's pet

-
In a legal sense, there is no universal number for the act to be considered murder.
-
1 Unless I am attacked, then none.
-
1 and only 1
-
1 reported
-
1 But you will still be seen as the beginning stages of a Serial Killer, so don't do that m'kay?
-
1 if it's a human.
-
Just killing one of these make you a criminal
