There's no ethical way to kill someone that's done nothing to you and doesn't want to die, and that's not just for humans.
I guess we could say “humane”, or “as quick and painless as possible”?
Bullshit. You wouldn't call it ethical to kill a 5 year old you see in the street just because it is done quick and painless.
Murder doesn't become ethical just because it's not also torture.
Did I say “ethical”?
