A few years ago in Outback NSW we found a kangaroo with its hind legs tangled hopelessly in a multi strand barbed wire fence along a road.
It had been there for ages struggling in agony & had ripped most of the muscle/meat of both hind legs & would never have been able to walk. It was still conscience .
We got a bucket, filled it with water from our van, lay down beside the roo & pushed its head under water.
It took a very LONG minute for the bubbles to stop rising until it was at rest.
We thought that it was a more humane way of putting a beautiful creature out of its misery rather than hitting it on the head with a blunt instrument. Less messy too.
Others may not agree?

this is inhumane, i would much rather it over with a quick hammer to the head, than by being held under water conscious,

Yes, it most certainly is. But to anyone who has never been made aware of that it does appear to be quite a peaceful way to go.
That's why this type of thread is so valuable. Some truths are counter intuitive.
We never stop learning.

If you have a firearm available ( of adequate caliber) it is the right tool for the job, and would be my choice every time if I was in an appropriate location. Having said that I think it is illegal at least in Victoria to discharge a firearm on or across a public thoroughfare or to kill a protected animal without the appropriate authority regardless. Landy
