A bit off topic to save me starting a thread on an extremely similar concept...
If you are killing someone/something: what does it matter that they will feel pain before they die...? Once they are dead, it isn't like they are going to remember that their death hurt.
But perhaps the presence of pain somehow changes the nature of death? (I don't see this as a black and white issue, I'm just curious as to what the rest of you lot think, and why)

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
