Why is it wrong then? Society has executed criminals before. Does it make any different if a warden hit the switch on an electric chair, or a hunter pulled the trigger?
If you're saying it's wrong that hunting criminals is akin to killing for sport, then why do we condone and even advocate doing the same thing to animals? Why the double standards?
Is it because society views animals as lower life forms and thus we're free to do whatever we please to them? Because as far as I'm concerned, a serial rapist or murderer is even lower than the scum stuck on my shoe, and ethics need not apply.
Besides that, I'm very much disgusted by the fact that the hard earned money of honest citizens, which goes to taxes, is then used to feed, clothe and keep alive these bastards inside prisons.
It's entirely possible, and even probable, that the taxes you pay today, might eventually be used to feed the same bastard who killed your neighbour, or raped your sister.
Instead of paying for their upkeep, it would be much better to remove them from this planet, let the hunters have fun, and spare countless innocent animals in the process.

If you look at the things people do today, civilized is hardly the correct word.
But anyhow, in my eyes, someone who shoots a convicted criminal is much more civilized than someone who shoots an animal purely for fun.
Because in the first instance, he/she is doing the whole world a favour, while in the latter, he/she is depriving the planet of a beautiful living thing.
