1) Where are you getting the idea that they would do more harm if they stayed alive, especially killing someone - that's really a bad, bad assumption. It's imaginable, but not provable in any way.
2) I believe in human rights, but I also believe that some human rights are more important than others. To me the human right to life is more important then the right to property. Property can be replaced or compensated for to a person that lost it; life cannot be replaced and compensation for it will never be more than symbolic. Likewise, I consider modern notions of justice and fair trial to be more important to a healthy society than the supposed "sacredness" of property. A society that lets petty crimes go unpunished is in for trouble and needs more efficient response methods, but a society that values property above life is just rotten.
