Why exactly does that matter outside of human response to it happening?
I'm not sure why you want to be so formal with this, but it matters because of the very strong potential (due to high likelihood of being adopted) for a net good to have taken place once the puppies were adopted by a loving family.

i.e. Don't shoot puppies because an adopted puppy is better than a dead one and it's likely they would've been adopted.
Quote
Sure a being naturally wants to live and death is obviously in opposition to that, but that want is not there to be dissatisfied if the agent is dead. There is no negative once something is dead, because death is only negative if something is alive to think that.
I don't think you've thought that statement through very well. You're implying that a being's value is tantamount to whatever external value is assigned to it through some other being, so then how could it be unethical to murder a person who has no external value (such as a homeless person with no family)? Yes I said that a pet's value is pretty much defined by its owner, but as I said repeatedly, the chance of adoption is a potential source of value that is entirely ignored.

To be honest I'm pretty much over this hypothetical discussion. If you don't see an issue with shooting a dog versus trying to find a home for it, then I don't think I'll be able to sway you. It's not a big deal anyway.

Also, holy shit OP, fix the title.

Sure, holding a puppy and blowing its brains out may be less scary, but shepherds have a very high adoption rate and since the guy was responsible for their birth (via not spaying his dog or trying to breed without knowing how), he really owed those puppies a bit more of a chance (and dignity) than being shot at 12 weeks old.
I think while we can say that this event is most definitely avoidable and it's his fault it wasn't avoided, I think we can also agree that the difference between putting those dogs in shelters and quickly ending their lives is minimal. Shelters have plenty of animals to be giving away already and now they won't have these few as burdens for whatever duration they would stay there.

As for the puppies, they're dead, they can't know the difference.
Dignity is just a concept designed to make things appear neater than they are (the only negative experience these pups had from being shot rather than injected is hearing the gunshot for the one in front of them) so humans don't feel as bad when they look at the scene. But any rational person can recognize that that is a purely emotional distinction and that the two method are effectively equal in terms of humanity.
You guys have been repeatedly making it sound like I'm concerned about how the person feels; I'm not talking about which method is 'easier' for the killer, I'm talking about the ethical ramifications of executing a dog versus euthanizing them after an extended duration in a shelter. Statistically, most of those puppies would have been adopted within a few weeks. Shepherd puppies are incredibly popular. It's galling that the word 'humanity' is being thrown around in a situation involving an irresponsible owner trying to kill puppies that were born because he refused to spay his dog. Is shooting a dog a particularly heinous act? No, especially when that dog has no real emotional connection (because ultimately, the dog's value is almost entirely determined by their owner). In this case, was shooting the dogs the best course of action? Obviously not. I'm not making a sweeping argument for dropping puppies off at a crowded shelter on a whim.

Regardless, I know for a fact that executions aren't painless. They don't use Euthasol for executions, then.

Any pain you might think is being felt is likely just fear; that's what the paralytic is used for.

And no. Euthanasia is harmless. Lethal injections aren't.

You just confirmed you have no idea what you're talking about.
You just confirmed you have no fucking idea how people are actually executed. Euthanasia is expensive. The way that criminals are executed is simply introducing a paralytic and poison to the body. The poison is cheap and kills in 10 or so minutes, while the paralytic exists to stop the criminal from having convulsions. Seriously, do some research before you insinuate that all executions (especially animal executions) are done with a chemical as costly as euthanasia.
Euthanasia is the process of lethal injection of an animal, either with or without a paralytic beforehand. You keep referring to euthanasia as if that's a kind of drug -- it is not; it's the actual process of killing the animal via chemical injection. There are several drugs used, like Euthasol, which are all basically just Sodium Pentobarbital (the same thing used in human lethal injection for its painless, gentle death). When paralytics are used it's because the animal is frightened and attempting to euthanize them may cause undue panic or pain (the needle has to be inserted precisely into the vein).

No, they paralyze them while introducing a poison to their body that kills them in 5-10 minutes. Just like how lethal injections in prisons are performed.
That's called 'euthanasia'.

Gotta love people. "It's fine to kill a dog with a painful injection that just paralyzes them so they don't react to the pain", but it's a fucking atrocity to give them a quick, easy death via gunshot. What's the difference? One causes blood, the other doesn't. So yeah, it's fine to kill an animal in a painful way as long as it looks clean to us.

That's not how euthanasia works. I have no idea how you got the idea that euthanasia is painful, but it absolutely isn't.  It also gives the animal a degree of dignity in the sense that you're not blowing its brains out. The breed in question was a shepherd, which are very popular and are highly adoptable as puppies; it was very likely that they would have found homes and have lived happy lives. There are tons of options, from shelters to foster homes to looking on Craigslist for new homes.

Deals that basically amount to 22% cash back through 2015 for purchases using Apple Pay (i.e., any Apple in-store purchases and anywhere Apple Pay is used, with a full list here). This translates to being able to get the iPhone 6 (effectively) 22% off. You'll pay in total, and at the end of the year you'll get a credit in your statement.

Because killing them (quickly) does no harm and doesn't put more burden on shelters which already have plenty to worry about.
Really he just fat fingered a task that otherwise doesn't have anything wrong with it (other than not spaying his dog)

Shepherd pups are usually quickly adopted, and no, it's definitely not legal or okay to kill your dogs.

Basically, she's claiming that the interview in which Kit Harington claims GoT will be part of his life past his thirties and that Snow is very much alive was fabricated (somehow). No word on the claims that he was seen filming a fight scene, or hanging around with some of the actors.

Maybe throw in the moon landing and a lot of progress in space exploration under his administration, and quite a lot of other foreign and domestic policy. Not to mention, there's a lot of misconception about what Nixon actually did in regard to Watergate. He didn't order the break-in or theft, and was upset that it happened when he was told after-the-fact. His 'crime' was to stop the investigation because it would have publicized information on some guy named Howard Hunt, whom many believe to be involved in some (legal) covert stuff that he didn't want out in the open.
