Yes, several reasons justify it. One is entitled to defend himself, his dear ones and his property. If some Luntic Left nuts pass laws against that, we must eliminate them or move. Certain crimes deserve the death penalty. Again, Lunatic Left nuts want to stop this. They must not be allowed to ruin the land with their dumb beliefs. When one is ill, he may take antibiotics to kill germs or viruses. We must kill other forms of life to have anything to eat. PeTA is against killing animals, but plants are alive too.

I believe killing is never justifiable, under any circumstances, not even in self-defence nor for the benefit of society or people at large. In fact, I believe killing other beings for food too is not justifiable just because it may be necessary. And I do not need any lengthy logic for my belief - it's a simple well known one-liner. You have no right to kill since you have no power to give it back.

The only living beings we need to kill is those which is our designated food !
No other killing of any being is ever justified.

Yes killing is justified if you kill a person that has shown no regards or respect to other peoples lives...
You take a life on purpose, you have to pay for it with your own.

I used to think, "No.", (regarding capital punishment), since once a life is taken, if it is found that the person is innocent, there is no way to bring the person back.
But, I now believe that death is nothing more than a transition to the next realm of existence--not the last stop; and, I believe the next existence is much superior to this one; therefore, if a mistake is made, it doesn't really end "life".
As far as taking a person's life, personally, my religion teaches that I should try to defend myself; but, if it comes down to my life, or the person's who's trying to take it, it should my life that is lost--not to person who is attacking me. Again, I know the end isn't the "end". However, if I must take a life to preserve the life of another, I may do it.

my friend, you should be asking this question the other way around. how can any life form justify NOT killing?
everything and everyone kills, TO EXCESS, in every circumstance. if you are not willing to kill it's like a tacit admission that you really havne't got a decent justification for your own existence, in which case perhaps you should allow yourself to become the glazed look in the sleepy eye of a well fed lion.
it is through killing that life has perpetuated itself. and thrived. there is always more and more life. the more killing htere is the more life there is. personally I opt for more life.
this does not mean that I don't venerate life. you need to kill in the manner of your choosing, and when you do it you must give thanks to the creator and to the being whose life you are taking.

yes but that doesnt mean it should of been done. justification is a thinking error. im sure mass murderers and serial killers all justified their crimes. that guy in the Amish school shootings justified his actions.

Of course. Don't you think it would be your duty to kill someone if you had no other choice to protect the life of your child, your partner, or yourself?

It has to be justified.
