The only difference between a humane and an inhumane death, is whether or not it leaves a mess.

Because the death penalty exists.
Because people are currently sentenced to execution even in the United States.
To those humans who are sentenced to death, why not choose a method that is instantaneous death, rather than something that can potentially fail.
I'd rather die instantly from a rock or a 12 gauge shell to the head than be injected or electrocuted.
Here is a tip: The world is not the USA...
If you are complaining about something that happens in the USA, say so.
144 countries had abolished the death penalty in law
The EU is a lot bigger than I thought...
Sorry, but there are more countries without the death penalty than with it.
The top 8 most populated countries still have it. Just those 8 (not including other countries where it's legal) make up ~4.3 billion people. Over half of the global population.
