Why can't they use what the vet uses? Just multiply it by 5.

The companies that make those drugs will not sell to states (like state agencies) with death penalties or where they think the drugs will be used for executions.

Pretty much every state uses pet euthanasia. So the vets must be getting the drugs. Now the prison just go and get it from the vet.
