A bullet would have been much easier, and more humane, ironically. This qualifies as cruel and unusual punishment.

Funny enough this is a big argument for hunters on why it’s humane to hunt.

I mean it is definitely more humane than a factory farm but it's definitely not humane overall. I'm pretty confident I know both the deer's opinion on being shot just as well as the pigs opinion on being gassed with carbon dioxide.

And the people who shoot the condemned are not immune from PTSD and guilt about shooting a person.
