From what I read, it is more humane than drugs, just sounds more violent.    I have had pets "put to sleep" & it was peaceful humane method, first they put the animal to "sleep" with an injection, then they inject them to stop the heart.  Looked pain free & peaceful, considering the outcome was death.  If they can calculate it precisely for animals, why is it so difficult for them to use it for humans, why do they need to suffer & why does it take so long.

In china they execute by firing squad, then they charge the family for the bullet.

I think an eye for an eye is what people needs to get.  shoot someone,,,  you need shot,,,  stab someone to death,,,  you need stabbed to death ,   pain for pain

I have no problem with a firing squad since it seems to be difficult to get the necessary drugs for a lethal injection.  I agree that if it can be done with dogs it should be able to be done with humans.

there's no humane way to execute someone so this is good a way as any other.

The United States babies prisoners too much and we spend too much money with these arrangements. Firing squad is much cheaper and if the person is guilty, I see no issue with this form of execution instead of wasting money worrying if they will feel pain.

I agree with davidh121. We should be allocating our federal monies towards more important issues (i.e., addressing our economy etc.). I am all for reinstating the firing squad. Much less expensive alternative. I am amazed how much emphasis people put into finding more humane ways in which to kill a murderer when s/he put their victims in more unbearable pain. I suppose we do not care about the pain the murderer put the victim(s) through then. *rolls eyes*
