This is why I try to eat meat from animals that have lived happy lives and been killed in a humane manner. Yes, it's more expensive that way, but I feel I ought to at least make the attempt.

Cuteness is not, to my mind, a relevant criterion when judging whether or not avoiding suffering is a priority. Don't hurt cute ickle lambs and bunnies, don't hurt cockroaches either.

Also, I object to the idea that animals should always be kept alive for the sake of if. If a home for "rescued" dogs is short of dog food (which is meat), then it would make perfect sense to my mind to butcher some of them to feed the others. Clean kill, obviously, but what's the difference between that and killing some other animal for the meat that would go into a can of dog food, other than cost?
