I understand your point, my view in all of this is that this someone doesn’t need to die, it is something we want to do for own pleasure at the expense of other being.
Going back to the “humane” definition.
Can you kill someone that doesn’t want to die and doesn’t need to die with kindness and sympathy?
In the end is just a matter of perception, you would euthanize your dog if it is terminally sick and in my view this is humane killing, is an act that you do out of sympathy and kindness. But you wouldn’t kill your perfectly sane dog to feed your friends at your bbq and call this humane.
The first case may be sympathy, but the other is pure selfishness.
And the word need is very important here, that’s what veganism stands for, in the modern era and in majority of places one can renounce eating the meat of other beings and be perfectly healthy just to reduce needless suffering.
Doesn’t have to be selfless to be humane, a person killing an animal for selfish reasons can still choose the quickest and least painful method available, or they can torture the animal to death. Both are bad, one is significantly worse.
