“Electrocuting dogs, etc. is EVIL.”
Is it EVIL to electrocute people?
Is it EVIL to kill a cow by hitting it in the head really hard and then hacking it up for food?
Depends. Did the person or cow knowingly commit a crime?
There is a big difference in electrocuting a “human”who has committed heinious crimes and made a choice to do so and electrocuting a helpless animal who has NO say so about his circumstances.
Yes, if they haven't committed any crime.
Is it EVIL to kill a cow by hitting it in the head really hard and then hacking it up for food?
No, because you are not torturing it by making it fight for survival first.
Animals that are killed for food should be killed as humanly as possible, not hung and then drowned when they haven't died.
Stop making excuses for cruelty.
Depends what for. There is a purpose to executing people who have committed heinous crimes (usually murder or multiple murders), after having a lengthy legal process, etc. The purpose is to punish and also to educate (others, that is). I cannot see the purpose of electrocuting a dog when a more humane method of killing is available (first knock out the dog, then poison it - the animal feels very little pain vs. electrocution). I personally think that this was done for kicks, an adult (if you can call it that) version of pulling the wings off of a fly.

Maybe; no. I personally think that we should kill food animals as painlessly as possible. The kosher laws, as an example, require that the carotid artery be slit quickly, with a knife that is extremely sharp and which has no nicks in it. The animal bleeds out in a minute or less. While certainly not pain free, it is better than clubbing it over the head, and is pretty advanced considering that the method first came into use approximately 3,300 years ago. Hacking the animal up afterwards does nothing to torture the animal in any way.
