I've always seen the killing of the zombies as mercy. As if they are stuck in a form of purgatory until actually dead, unable to move on to the afterlife. It's a very Christian way to think about it I suppose, but it seems reflected in the show. For instance, when they look in disdain at a trapped zombie then go the other way, vs going out of their way to kill a friend who turned (Hershel for instance).
