The dogs and cats never did anything wrong.

Which imply you think there are never any false positives in all legal systems around the world, or there are not enough of them that you honestly believe it's okay the minority of falsely-convicted should suffer so the majority of rightfully-convicted do.

50 degrees Celsius (122 freedom chickenshit units) is not uncommon there.

Driving Along the highway near that town the outside air temp in the car was 55-60 degrees. You break down without water and shade you're dead in a day or two. Pass out on the road you're burnt in seconds and dead in minutes. Neck deep in the motherfucking sea at the beach and still sweating because the water in the bay was about 35 degrees.

People in that region are known to switch off their water heater and reverse their taps in the wet season. I saw steam from the cold tap at the end of the season, the rocky ground heat soaks. Poor people go to the shopping centre and just sit inside during most of the day, because they can't afford to run their A/C.

It's so hot it's torture. It's utterly inhuman to roast people like that. This was being talked about 20 years ago, I can't believe they still haven't done anything.

I have no doubt that this is part of the thinking. The animals are victims of the system, whereas the prisoners are conscious actors who deserve what they get. The animals are being stored until adoption, while the prisoners are being punished.

A lot people think prisons should be made as inhumane as possible as a deterrence to crime (or because they view criminals as inherently a different species of being, outside the human community). Humane countries such as Denmark and Netherlands have very humane treatment for their small number of prisoners.
