I have a brother who is about three years younger than I. When I was about five, he fell down and skinned his knee, and continued crying very loudly for a long time.
I turned to my mother and said, "Oh, I hope he doesn't suffer so much we have to shoot him."
I guess I thought the practice of putting animals out of their misery applied to humans as well.
