That depends on the time and place the slave owner lived in. Slaves in the antebellum South were legally classified as domestic animals, like cows or sheep. So a slave owner was perfectly free to kill a slave that he owned. The only reason to avoid killing them is that slaves, like other domestic animals, were worth money. It would be foolish to buy a slave only to kill him or her. Nonetheless, if a slave master wished to kill a slave, he had every legal right to do so.
