In the end, what you feel about a human life vs an animal life is a philosophical, religious, origin type question that you have to consider and make up your mind about. Only do step carefully if your conclusion is at odds with the law of the land (which is based on one kind of view).

@Cordite: we are back to outsourcing our corrections to Saudi/China etc.
I have no problem thinking of people like this as animals where they have proven to be dangerous to society, incapable of living within society and incapable of working with others productively. This piece of shit can be let out to hurt others as you seem to advocate (bit of a stretch, but based on his history and trajectory - completely fair) or can be removed from society with a first class (trade deal approved and certified) ticket to Saudi/China justice....hell - we could even pay a token living cost for this a$$hole - regardless of whether the subcontracting jurisdiction keeps the prick alive or not...
I don't see a downside?
Please tell me you have an alternative argument...
