I'm sorry but this is just wrong. The concept of morality is completely subjective. Certain people live by different morals. Just because you have a certain belief doesn't mean it's right or wrong. And just because they don't share your morals doesn't make them wrong, or right. If you're going to try to use something like religion to justify your beliefs, you need to understand each and every religion is completely and absolutely man-made. They may be divinely inspired, but every religion was created by humans. Humans are very flawed, therefore religion itself is subject to those same flaws. I only say this because most people get their ideas of morality and death from religion or religious values. This is not meant to be converted to a religious debate.
When you say sentient life, I will presume you are referring to humans and creatures with similar levels of intelligence. In reality, nature treats all life equally. All living creatures are fated to die. All lives are subject to death. It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. Death is an absolution. To say that one doesn't deserve death is absurd, because all life deserves death. There is nothing more guaranteed in life than death. I won't disagree with your statement about nobody deserves to be subjected to violence or be killed, but while you say that you are judging them yourself, saying they are worthy of life. That really isn't something for a single human to decide.
Of course, it is within human nature to judge. I try not to judge people, but admittedly I don't always succeed. I believe judgment should be reserved for those who have halos and horns. That is my set of morals. If you don't share it, you only prove my point.
