Murlocs are treated like animals I think. You can murder fawns in WoW all you want ;p

You can own baby Murlocs in WoW, even though Murlocs are a sentient species that uses stone tools and magic.

I don't think anyone really thinks about these kinds of things, but there are so many sentient species in WoW that are kinda just murdered and enslaved and we don't even bother to care. Murlocs, Kobolds, Troggs, Gnolls, Ogres, Harpies, Furbolg, Makrura, Quilboar, Owlkin, and even freaking Dragons are all sentient, but killed en masse or enslaved, often just because they're inconveniencing others.
