THERE has been quite a lot in the news in recent weeks about whether or not killer sharks should be hunted and killed. What about convicted drug dealers? Should they face the death penalty?
I’m sure we all feel deeply for the two Australians in Bali at this time as it seems more than likely that they will be executed. I cannot possibly know what they and their families must be going through and my heart goes out to them.
The method of execution is horrific. If they are executed, maybe it will serve as a strong warning to other young people considering dealing drugs overseas.
We do not have the death penalty in Australia. Or do we? Thousands of unborn babies face the death penalty in Australia every year. They have done nothing wrong and they have no chance at life. Are their lives of less value than sharks and convicted drug dealers? I just don’t get it.
