Interrupting means asking a thread to stop and allowing the thread to control how it stops.
Killing means the thread is stopped without it having any chance to react to anything which can easily cause it to not close resources (e.g. network connections) which can lead to memory leaks or corrupting files or other data (e.g. when killing a thread while it writes to a file, it leaves the file in an incomplete state).
