Dogs are not people.

Correct and you will note that these defendants were not charged with murder or any other homicide offense.

Your lack of perspective is in ignoring the law already draws distinctions to make clear that this is not the same as killing a person.

The issue here was did the defendants engage in unjustified acts. The facts seem to indicate they did. The dogs weren't sick. They weren't being harvested for food or clothing. They could have been given away. The could have been peacefully euthanized. None of that was considered. Instead, the defendants just cavalierly shot a group of dogs because "their culture" said it was better to just "shoot shovel and shut up" (their words). That is essentially an admission on their part that this was done for convenience and to cover up what they did.

“The could have been peacefully euthanized. “

They were peacefully euthanized. Unless I am mistaken no charges of torture are being proposed.

The local shelter isn’t the only place where an animal can be put down peacefully. One might argue it’s more traumatic for many animals to be taken there for euthanization. I think it is normally kinder to do it at home when the animal is sleeping. Rather than in a strange place with lots of other dogs, territorial stuff, waits in unfamiliar kennels, unfamiliar food, all that.
