I do not set myself up as the arbiter of what is “humane,” so the method an animal dies is not terribly important to me. I do not relish pain toward animals, but I also have no issue with using a glue trap on rodents and letting them die stuck to glue.

I also believe torture penalties are completely reasonable and fair when used on the perps who used those similar methods on innocent victims.

God believes stoning is reasonable, as do I and Daniel of the Old Testament.

They why would you ask "So it’s not cruel to slaughter, then eat them?"

Indeed, and in contrast to the detached manner of having the state execute one guilty of a Biblical capital offense , instead, as the crime/sin was directly or indirectly against the corporate body, so was the execution a community action. Which better served to impact the community as to the gravity of the sin, as well as judging one as guilty.

And at least in the case of a idolator evangelist, "thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people." (Deuteronomy 13:9)
