Young Gun, I would say follow your conscience. But know this...That the PETA movement is strong. And they are also very present in the anthropomorphism movement (imbuing animals with human attributes) or rebirth we as a culture seem to be experiencing.
I'm not discounting they may feel fear, pain, etc. All animals, even single cell amoebas have a pain reflex! So I do want them handled and slaughtered humanely and given a good life up to the point of slaughter. But I come back to the fact that being a Christian my rules are that God gave us animals to be good stewards over and to use for our benefit.
Happy cooking to you!
