Crime.......and Punishment....what part of that stipulates 'humane?'

I believe Crual and Unusual was principally meant for punishment not intended to cause death. Death is death and is another matter. I don't think there has been a recipient of this procedure that has complained, has there? If there was, then the executioner should have been billed for the mistake.

If Eight Belles died more humanely, then let vets put prisoners to sleep.

The difference is, pets are innocent and shouldn’t suffer. Murdering scum SHOULD get a rougher death than Fluffy, age 17.
