Why is it that [most] Conservatives believe in the death penalty? I thought the whole point was to stop having people murder other people. Execution and murder are the same thing. If I were a criminal, the thought of dying would probably be better than living in prison for the rest of my life. When a person is executed, they do not feel pain, remorse, etc. for what they have done b/c they are dead. They're families, who are innocent bystanders, are the ones who suffer. Why is that fair?

They are into old testament revenge, even if vicariously.
I also disagree with euthanization. However, people have the mental capacity to be rehabilitated; some animals do not. It's also not the animal's fault. The owners are to blame b/c they are the ones who neglected, abused, etc. the animal in the first place.
Yes, people can also have crappy parents, but it doesn't really matter how f'ed up a person is - they can always get on the right track with motivation given to them through school, church, etc. And if not, they should be put in jail, not killed. As with any animal who can not meet proper social standards.
Bottom line, I don't agree with killing anyone or anything. It serves no purpose.

At the point you said:Execution and murder are the same thing....
I realized you are not someone who can be reasoned with.
a false premise cannot be the basis for a discussion.
