If that was possible... but you are assuming that this would always be an option, which it isn't. I said that if the other choice was to either let them live a short and painful life. The fact is, sometimes illnesses are not treatable, in which case euthanasia is probably the most humane option for humans and animals alike... especially if they are unable to understand what is happening.
Anyway, aren't we talking about dogs here? People euthanize animals all the time because they have illnesses that might be tended to if they were humans. These dogs may have had to be put down for all we know. The method is the issue, which I agree was pretty brutal.
If animals are sick or not going to be cared for properly so they become a danger, then I think you need to have them destroyed. You know, all these people offering rewards for her arrest would probably be better served if they instead raised money for animal shelters, speying and neutering and education for preventing cruelty to animals, because I can assure you that Bosnia does not have an SPCA in every little town like they do here. If we didn't have that here, you would see a lot more "nuissance" feral dogs running around, and as such, your attitude about them would probably be a lot different.
