Yes, I agree that dead is dead. But I would counter that with life is not necessarily life! I think compassion and high welfare is vitally important, whether we are considering the treatment of pet canaries or laying hens or killer whales in aquariums.
In fact, my bantams are having a lousy life at the moment, because they are shut in due to the virus risk. So they get extra greens to peck and occasional handfuls of dried meal worms. I still do this, although I know that at some point they will be old or sick or injured and I will kill them. Not by stabbing or shooting but by taking them quietly to one side and wringing their neck as quickly as I can.
