If a death sentence was handled the way it with some species of animals it would be for logical.

For example a Murder(flock) of crows when ever they stop to rest or eat in a location it is the duty of one crow to stand watch.If that crow fails to spot a threat to the others and sound the alert that crow is killed by the other crows for its failure.You may or may not have noticed that even if you try it is very hard to sneak up on a murder of crows now you know why.

I know myself if someone killed a loved one and that person was killed (no matter how) if in my mind I still felt anger or hatred I would feel no closure or comfort.

I know one thing for sure I would refuse to be a juror on a death penalty trial.I simply could not feel comfortable deciding a person fate like that indirectly.

In self defense or in a war I would kill someone or an enemy combatant if they where clearly willing to fight not that I would enjoy it.I would not even enjoy killing a person in self defense honestly even if they where clearly going to kill me.Hell I hunt some and I don't get a pleasure out of shooting killing an animal I only hunt something that I am going to eat(mostly boar) or share with others.But I make sure that when I pull the trigger it is a quick kill if I have any doubt I wont fire.If you only wound you cant be sure that you will find the animal again and it might suffer for days.
