I don’t understand why they can’t use similar drugs to GA that put you to sleep and then use whatever. There are plenty of drugs that would cause death if overdosed such as insulin or morphine… and no shortages of them.
I can’t bring myself to feel sorry for murderers though…

Without being too gruesome and callous, I don't understand how it's so "easy" to put an animal to sleep, so why can't we just use the equivalent here? Or is that literally what the lethal injection is? I didn't know if the animal one was intravenous or just an injection.

Not feeling sorry for a murderer isn't odd. Someone not agreeing with you isn't odd.
It's also possible to not agree with the death penalty and also not be disgusted by this blokes death. And that's a valid feeling/reaction.
