An animal like this needs to be humanely executed

Humanely? The constitution forbids cruel and unusual punishment. It does not guarantee a painless execution.

By humanely I'm ruling out breaking on the wheel and the saw. Other than that...

Only forbids cruel and unusual punishment at the government level.....

If someone did that to my family and I got my hands on them, even people running 3rd world torture shops would be getting sick to their stomachs reading the details of what I did.

The Constitution forbids cruel and unusual punishment.

In this postmodern era I interpret this to mean that a punishment could be cruel as long as it was not unusual or unusual as long as it was not cruel.

Crucifixion, for instance, was cruel but not unusual.

Doesn’t matter how he’s executed just so long as he doesn’t complain after the fact.
