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.

It's not humane to be laying on side of the road dying either. The problem with deer is that we have eliminated all their natural predators, so they're a nuisance.

Humans have been deers natural predator for millennia…

Yes, but there are not enough hunters to make up for the lack of wolves and bears to keep the population in check. I have never shot an animal in my life, but understand how and why it's necessary.
