what is the good one?

"Kill the animals" is talking about killing a specific group of animals. "I went out to kill the animals" = I went out to kill some previously mentioned animals.
"Kill animals" refers to killing animals in general
"I went out to kill animals" = I went out to kill unspecified animals.

Both are correct, if used in the right context. 1. "Kill the animals", ordered the King. 2. " I will never kill animals for food or fun", replied the Vegetarian soldier.

Depends on the context : both are correct though.
"I went out to kill the animals"
"I like to kill animals"

It depends on the initial question , for instance if the question was ''is it wrong to 'kill animals?'' or ''should we kill 'the' animals?''

kill the animals...because its a definite sentence it needs the definite article to be used as a function word.
