It's a good thing Terri wasn't his dog, or that sort of starvation/dehydration would be considered inhumane; illegal. We can't as a society be allowing people to abuse their pets, and such, after all. Their wives, now, well that's a different story altogether, in the eyes of the law. Serial killer Michael Ross in Connecticut is up for execution soon. Perhaps lethal injection is too inhumane. If starvation and dehydration is humane enough to kill a spouse, it should be humane enough to kill a depraved psychopath. But it isn't. We offer humane deaths to our pets and our worst criminals, and only bring out the cruel and unusual deaths on loved ones.
