I think it is a barbaric way of thinking rooted in the days of old. Reminds me of China's history of beheading criminal and displaying the heads for public view, which served as a warning sign.
Of course, given the choice, I would rather have my head chopped off than to lose my right hand and left foot to a machete chop. We in a sense care for our criminals and try to nurture them back to society with a rehabilitation process. I don't know that it works but for sure beheading rids the society of the worry. Chopping off limbs I think just exacerbates the situation, now there are criminals that can't function normally in society even if they were rehabilitated. I don't know to what degree religion plays in this. I think these people would conduct themselves in the same way regardless and are just using religion as an excuse or a justification.
