Ethics

My party is pissed at me cause I killed an unconscious goblin.

The issue here is the party was hired to protect some meat from thieves, so our second job ever we stand around guarding some meat, suddenly goblins bust into the room in a position that just makes our positioning bad.

One of them gets a crit and puts one of two monks into making death saving throws, our magic missile wizard is bleeding out, cleric is injured.

Eventually the other monk just does well, the goblins are dead or running, we have two goblin left, one surrendered cause it couldn't really run. My character advises the party to take him alive and chain him up because we could use a source of information.

Then falsely believing the goblins retreated and were regrouping for a second assault my character kills one of the goblins making death saving rolls (quickly mind you, I wanted the threat removed, not to be some edgy torturer) and they ALL get pissed at me?

My question is holy shit really? It is a fucking goblin, and not some orc baby, this guy just tried to murder us.

DnD 5e and level 1 PCs if it matters.

The goblin that surrendered begged you to save the life of his dying friend. He surrendered on the dying one's behalf.

Well, what in your action made them pissed?

That I killed an unconscious goblin.

See this shit right here, this is what they are upset about.

Stop being so salty, Cerbs. Everyone else got over it, you should too.

Do goblins enjoy "human" rights? If so, then your action was objectively wrong.

...

I'm having a hard time understanding how an unconcious goblin would be a threat.

Do "human" rights exist in the world? They're just social constructs as you know.

Acer quit being a salty bitch! You also made the rest of the group sit through a lesbian foursome.

I meant, what was their specific argument? Were they pissed off because losing potential ransom or what?
