IS there a way to give the Accursed their rightful rest in a rapid, practical, relatively painless manner?

HTR5

Ultimately, that's another thing that keeps me off hunter, and almost makes me miss imbued. While I do love teaching tyrannical rapist scum what it's like to feel fear, I have a kind of warrior's sportsmanship about it. I, personally, enjoy it more to have the Tzimsce Pack Priest trying to pick up broken teeth as you loom over them, ready to slowly tear their head out of their spine with your bare hands, rather than turning their children's palace (in all of the worst meanings of that phrase) into a nightmarish deathtrap with pungi sticks and motor oil buckets and UV headlights. Both are too nice for these fucking wasteful, psychopathic animals, a mere entree for the pain the shadowlands will rightfully put them through, but- idk. I have a martial spirit, I guess. When dealing with monsters, I prefer to terrorize them fair and square- upon the battlefield.

And that's not even getting into Doing What You Got To Do. To put down your cousin's nocturnal best friend who freaked out, ate his girlfriend, and is currently having a mental breakdown in his tiny little barret home with the beast telling him not to kill himself, you gotta, at your most practical, lock every door and window and then set the place ablaze with him inside. It's naive, and it's stupid, and it's impractical, but I still feel the need to ask:

Ain't there a less... painful way? Methods of letting their souls pass on that are less cruel, less like poaching, less, well, predatory?
