oxymoron

i was reading a post on this blog about australian animal attacks and the article he linked to on a dingo attack on fraser island caught my attention-- they are hunting for the dingo (which has been identified but not found-- how do identify a dingo from another dingo unless it was one of the ones with the tags on?) and it will be "humanely destroyed." i don't think that's possible. if you destroy something, there's nothing humane about it.
