The Fifth Commandment was a translators' mistake, sheer hypocrisy, or - at best - an intelligent attempt to manipulate the Catholic Church's political programme. Originally, the 6th Commandment Deuteronomino (2. Buch Mose, Kap. 20, V 13) said ratsah (morden), not harag (töten). Tribal ethics, not universal; censuring egotistical killings, not those blessed by the common interest.
The Fifth Commandment vs. the torah's Sixth Commandment: thou shalt not kill vs. thou shalt not murder (parochial intragroup ethics vs. universalism; specieism/especismo vs. holiness of life). 2 Moises/Deuteronomio ch. 20, v 13: ratsah - to murder; harag - to kill.  


Christianity never took "ne occides" (Vulgata; Deuteronominon; Jerome = Hieronymus= Geronimo) seriously. The Bible itself is full of legitimised homicides and genocides. Whereas "thou shalt not kill" (St. James Bible) is a general commandment, it has never been thought to apply to the killing of animals or plants.  
Christianity (mis-) translated "murder" into "killing": but it never took "ne occides" (Vulgata; Deuteronominon; Jerome = Hieronymus= Geronimo) seriously. The Bible itself is full of legitimised homicides and genocides. Whereas "thou shalt not kill" (St. James Bible) is a general commandment, it has never been thought of as referring also to the killing of animals or plants.  


It feigns respect for all life, but is meant much more restrictively.
Other ethics are more radical in this respect: Jain. [[Ahimsa]]. Albert Schweitzer (Ehrfurcht vor dem Leben); David Pearce (2009): Transhumanism (H+).
