* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' both averts and plays this straight. Averted in that the clones will generally be treated with the same amount of dignity as the other organic characters, and the characters who view them as disposable will often be antagonists. Republic droids were also granted a certain amount of dignity and consideration. However, it's played very straight with the Separatist droids, who, despite consistently demonstrating complex emotions and self-awareness (including terror at the prospect of being destroyed and one even expressing distress and regret at shooting at its own), are routinely cut down without any remorse or consideration.

** The B1 battle droids are treated as nonhuman, and their "deaths" at the hands of the heroes are occasionally played for laughs. Yet they still react to situations like living beings, and even show fear when they are losing a battle. This includes scenes of the Jedi cuttting them down without a thought while they throw their hands up and scream for mercy being played for laughs.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'': Brock Sampson has a code against killing women and children. He was curious if there were any circumstances in which that would be dismissed. Eventually, his mentor accepted "Lady Dracula", as undead don't count.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'' after Peter frees himself from the Symbiont, the first he does is try to destroy it. Sure, the Symbiont attempted to take control over him, turned him into a jerk and nearly pushed him to killing Dr. Octopus, but then many, if not all, of his human or meta-human enemies have repeatedly tried to murder him, endangered other people and committed all kinds of crimes, and yet he never entertained the idea of killing any of them. But with the Symbiont he decides that "it's too dangerous, it could fall into the wrong hands" and BAM, it's deep freeze time, nevermind that "it" is also a sentient being!

* In ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekLowerDecks'', the Tuvix incident comes roaring back in the Season 4 episode "Twovix" when Billups and T'Ana end up having a TeleporterAccident and perform a FusionDance into T'illups. The ''Cerritos'' crew is sure that Janeway came up with an ethical solution when they look up her logs and are horrified when they find out she essentially killed him. Captain Freeman resolves to send them to Starfleet for a better way to help them, but T'illups finds out what happened and decides the best thing to do is to fuse ''everyone'' to save their life.

* Played straight in ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'', where the only beings to die are [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots a human-appearing synthodrone]] and two aliens (at least according to WordOfGod). Monkey Fist ends up [[AndIMustScream unable to move or communicate]] after being [[TakenForGranite turned to stone]]; not fully human, thus {{Acceptable Target|s}}. (More KarmicTransformation, really.)

* The cast of ''WesternAnimation/ArchiesWeirdMysteries'' generally has no problem doing in a MonsterOfTheWeek, no matter how human they may seem, once it's discovered they're not human. Probably the most glaring is the Reggie Clone, a cyborg copy of Reggie made by some bumbling aliens who, thanks to said aliens ''asking Reggie to describe himself'', was the nicest, most charming, and all-around lovable person in existence thanks to Reggie's [[SmallNameBigEgo raging ego]]. Even though it proves nice enough to outright ''violate its own orders'' in order to let Reggie win a nice-contest (how they [[SpotTheImposter spotted the imposter]]; [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext just go with it]]), effectively saving Reggie, his friends, and all of Riverdale, none of the teens feel even the least bit bad for it and are only happy they [[WeWantOurJerkBack got the real Reggie back]].

* In an episode of ''{{WesternAnimation/Arthur}}'', when Buster fantasizes about himself as a superhero named Cat Saver, he encounters a villain with some... ''unconventional'' {{mooks}}. He prefaces his fight with a disclaimer to the audience: "Kids, [[DontTryThisAtHome hitting and punching people is wrong.]]" ''But that's no person! It's a giant ham!"''
* In the second episode of ''WesternAnimation/AvengersAssemble'', the Avengers indiscriminately kill the attacking Space Phantoms, despite the creatures displaying sentience and the ability to speak. They do the same thing to an army of vampires in a later episode. It is however worth noting that the show is heavily inspired by the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, where the heroes generally have no qualms with killing their enemies.
* Discussed and averted in ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersUnitedTheyStand'' episode "Remnants." The Avengers consider killing the robots they discover on the island, but aren't sure if the robots matter morally or not and decide to avoid killing them until they can be sure. [[spoiler: Eventually they discover that the robots will kill everyone else on Earth and have the UN nuke the island. They deeply regret the robots' deaths and feel just as bad as if they had been forced to kill humans.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/TheBatmanVsDracula:'' While Batman plans from the start to synthesize a cure for Dracula's [[TheVirus human victims]], he has no qualms against simply killing Dracula, blatantly telling Alfred that "Dracula's not a man, he's a monster." Of course, he ''does'' at least try to use the vampire cure on Dracula beforehand.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}'' features this liberally. In the earlier episodes of original series, you can accurately predict how much violence is inflicted on an enemy based on how humanlike they are. Actual humans are merely subdued, but non-complex life forms and Vilgax's "sentient robots" are often exploded on screen, though not graphically detailed. This becomes especially awkward when you realize that, thanks to the very nature of the powers of the Omnitrix, Ben himself isn't human half the time.

What [[spoiler: Perdiot]] forgot to account for was the the Earth already harbored life, [[spoiler: so its development as a colony would've killed everything on the planet for the sake of their species, essentially throwing her own argument back at her]].
