I like the general idea of the first 4 principles except for the obvious problem that all living beings can only exist by feeding off other life. Considering unconscious plants living beings for the purpose of morality really complicates things unnecessarily. There is no getting around that lions are conscious and zebras are conscious though and that lions don't do too well on a diet of eucalyptus leaves.

The second part - dealing with those who fail to adhere to the code is actually where I have my biggest problem. It sounds like revenge-think. Sinking to same level as evil is definitely not the way to deal with evil. Not if we are to think of ourselves as good.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
