Non-human predators that hunt, kill, and eat other animals...do you consider them unethical, or is it only unethical for animals capable of inventing the concept of 'ethics'?
When you have no choice but to kill or starve, any killing is justified, but when starvation is off the table because you have access to agriculture and global supply chains, then that justification no longer exists.
I would expand the original statement to "there is no ethical way to kill someone who doesn't want to die, if you have an option not to kill them"
I consider cats unethical but the other animals get a pass.

I won't disagree with that, but I would also include wasps, and possibly canadian geese.
Cats and stray dogs often kill for fun, Orcas and dolphins as well... So intelligent life or life raised by very intelligent life seems to like killing other things...
Those little fuckers are vicious! I love them so much!
