No, according to Catholics you did not commit murder
Putting an animal to sleep to end their suffering is not against Catholicism at all. And it’s not murder. In fact it’s sinful to let animals suffer.
Also by “not taking life” Catholics mean “HUMAN” life as humans created in the image of G-d.
But even with humans justified killing isn’t the same as murder. Catholics are known to serve in the army and work in the law enforcement.
