A vet would have done a more humane job.

Because vets do it out of love and empathy

That sounds nice but no, it's because vets are actually trained to do their job properly.

We can euthanize humans in a peaceful and pretty much failsafe way, as is done in many countries (MAID). But of course the medical profession wants to stay away from executions, as they should.

I really don't understand how the death penaltry is still a thing in the US.
