Wouldn't you cry and squeal? Wouldn't you piss yourself and run?
I would, and I suspect foul play if anyone denies they would try anything, ANYTHING to just stay alive. "Humane" doesn't enter into it. Now dealing this out is not a good idea if we ourselves would do anything to avoid it for ourselves, it's not proper treatment of anyone, including animals. Death penalty is reserved for the worst kind of criminals and outlawed in many countries for a good reason!
