>pretty sure she never lied
There was absolutely deceit involved. The idea of Magical Girls becoming Witches is outright ignored, as well as the fact that it happens automatically if you don't keep fighting Witches.
>where the criminal is not fully aware of the fact that they might get the death penalty for committing a crime?
Crimes are completely different from contracts. Also, crimes aren't wrong because there's a penalty for them; there's a penalty for them because they're wrong.
>The magical girls had the opportunity to ask for the full terms of the contract
There was no reason to believe that there were any other terms to the contract, because Kyubey straight-up lied to them about it and was literally the only source of information available on the subject. It would be like including information on a contract in invisible ink rather than fine print: Kyubey never even implied half the shit that goes on with Magical Girls and Witches, he just left out incredibly vital information.
>A) They probably were
Then the show should have somehow suggested that.
>B) To them, little girls on earth would be the equivalent of cows or pigs for us.
Kyubey was never shown to be on a higher level of intelligence; they were just way more technologically advanced. They never had any trouble relating to humans, and humans never had any trouble relating to them, so I'm led to believe that the two are on roughly the same level of intellect.
Also, most arguments in favor of humans having the right to life that I'm aware of don't rely on the fact that we're intelligent relative to animals. The presence of sapience, the ability to argue in favor of your rational self-interest, and the capacity to resolve disputes nonviolently are the only requirements I've heard. If a life form came about that met those requirements but was not as intelligent as a human, I would support its right to life just the same.
>You'd kill a cow or pig in an instant if you thought it would save your children's life.
This ignores the fact that there is absolutely no sense of urgency whatsoever. If my child's life were going to be threatened in fifty years, and I could put a stop to it by killing a cow at any point before that time, and I had a supply of cows that wouldn't run out so long as I paid even the slightest bit of attention, I'd probably kill the cow sometime during year forty-nine if I were being extra safe about my kid (if I were to die before then, I'd just leave it in my will that someone slaughter a cow to save my child's life at some point before the date in-question). And there's exponentially more urgency in the scenario I just described than there is in Kyubey's case.
The Incubators were dicks for no reason.
>Magical girls are doing just that via the nature of their contract.
Again, it's unnecessary. With minor supervision, the Incubators could insure humanity's long-term prosperity. Sending little girls to their deaths some 10^50 years before the heat death of the universe (bearing in-mind the universe itself is around 14 billion years old) is not the best way to handle the situation.
