"Sexual assault", "infanticide", "forced pregnancy" and "murder", these are terms that are normally used to mean something that a human does to another human, not another kind of animal.

I'm curious, but would you call what male cats do to female cats "sexual assault"? Or what cats do to mice, "murder"?

I'm asking because the reason that "murder", in particular, is usually only applied to human behaviour is because a human motive is usually assumed, i.e. either some sort of emotion like anger etc, or financial or other profit. Conversely most people don't believe that animals can have other motives for killing other animals than to eat them (yet check out "surplus killing" on wikipedia). So I'd say that killing another animal to eat it seems to only be interpreted as "murder" when it's done by a human, which sounds like it's motivated from reasons other than to succinctly and precisely define a certain behaviour.
