WIY: The Minchas Chinuch (I believe) points out that there is no Issur of Tza’ar Ba’alei Chayim when killing an animal (I presume that this has limits and it means that you kill in a humane way). He gets this from the Gemara of P’sik Reishei. He asks why it isn’t an issue of Tza’ar Ba’alei Chayim and answers that TB”C isn’t Shayach when you’re killing them, only if you’ll force them to live in pain.
