According to the teachings of Buddha, five conditions must be present to constitute an act of killing: The thing killed must be a living being; you, the killer, must know or be aware that it is a living being; you must have the intention to kill it; there must be an effort to kill; the being must be killed as the result. Therefore the First Precept of Buddhism - not to kill - is violated and this is tantamount to killing a human being.
