Rejected petition Introduce the death sentence for murders

I and many other people feel the same way about about murders who have gone out of their way to kill another human being, why do they have the right to live on this planet after killing your daughter your son mother mom dad etc, and then to pay for him or her as a tax payer to keep them in prison

More details

What is the worst thing that can happen to a murder who kills one of your family members, its this simple they go to prison and then to rub salt in the into it you as a tax payer pay to keep them in prison, this is wrong on every level, you have not only lost your loved one but now you are paying to keep them, and to make things worse they can and are released to walk the streets, if a dog bites a human being it gets put down.. Their is no difference apart from the murder knows the consequences
