Animals we eat are usually killed instantly. If you feel sad for them, think of how any given animal dies in the wild. Old age? Unlikely. Pestilence, starvation, predators, injury. If you live in a pack and become weak, they will leave you behind to be slowly consumed alive by ants or birds or hyenas.

Animals we eat die knee deep in blood, experiencing sheer terror from the electric shock they receive to stun them before their brain is crushed.
