Toture of an animal by shooting it with an arrow and failing to track it long enough to find it and put it out of it’s misery?

Nope.

Just like I don't advocate the death penalty for someone who is involved in a traffic accident where a fatality is involved.

Sheesh.

Well, I’m trying to find out where you would apply the death penalty. You’ve already pointed out torture to animals is defining act.

You’ve also pointed out that a hunter who makes best efforts to later kill a deer he has purposely caused great suffering to by not killing cleanly the first time doesn’t get the death penalty.

So, then, what if the bow hunter shoots the deer, sees that it’s struggling and decided he’s too lazy to follow it and lets it suffer and die in the woods over the next few hours?

Death penalty there?
