There's no ethical way to kill someone who doesn't want to die. This applies to more than just humans.
If they are attacking me, would it not be ethical of me to defend myself and potentially kill my attacker?
Not op, but in my mind this would depend on whether you have any reasonable means of de-escalation, e.g. running away
If not then it's not really ethical or unethical... it just kinda can't be judged
[Insert trolley problem here]
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.
Those little fuckers are vicious! I love them so much!
