Labeling the execution as "revenge" is an attempt to use a highly simplistic linguistic connotation that in no way can capture the cathartic human experience to see that evil that has been torturing the victims' souls for years is finally gone.

At best, it is due to ignorance or the lack of the depth of the human experience, the abyss of pain and suffering when inflicted by such indescribable evil. At worst, it is evil in itself to denigrate the suffering of the victims.

Do you have children? do you love someone more than yourself? do you love your pets? Imaging now that an evil inflicted tremendous pain and suffering on your loved one. Your loved one is gone forever. Is it over? no, the pain persists in your soul, you won't rest until that evil is gone.

You believe in redemption? the evil may have a chance of it by spending the rest of its life to understand the pain that its action has brought upon the living victims and try to do its best to relieve that pain, including begging for forgiveness.

But no... These creatures are not human. Their brain function of empathy - the way you would feel the twinge in your heart, the swelling of tears in your eyes when you accidentally hurt your loved one - simply doesn't exist. They are not human. They are just biological creatures and if you don't want killing, if there is a wilderness sanctuary for them so that they shall never ever in contact with normal human beings again, then perhaps that is the solution.

But euthanizing these sociopathic creatures is the best solution. How many such creatures have you seen trying to seek out the living victims to seek forgiveness? to do all they can to heal their suffering?

Once you have lived through the human experience of being such a victim (directly or worse, indirectly as a survivor), which I never ever wish upon you, you should approach such an issue with the humility of your blessed and limited life experience of not having to go through.
