Why the compassion for Nevada’s death-row inmates?

I find it completely hypocritical that we have to bend over backward to find lethal injection drugs that don’t cause any pain and suffering for executions. Did any of the hundreds of death-row inmates care about the extreme pain and suffering of their victims when they were strangled, shot, bludgeoned, stabbed, raped, incinerated or tortured? Absolutely not.

But for some reason, our legal system seems to want to delay these executions because the injection might cause some slight pain and suffering (if any at all). These death-row inmates didn’t care about their victims when they perpetrated these heinous crimes, so why should we care about them?

We seem to slaughter animals without care, so let’s just call these criminals the animals that they are and cast them quickly into the depths of hell, where they belong.
