    It hardly classifies as cruel.

    Cruel means to cause pain or suffering without feeling concern about those you're hurting.

    Making sure an animal lives the best life possible before you kill it is hardly a lack of concern.

    I hate to break it to you, but every animal that ever lived, died. And every animal alive now (even you) will die. And in 99.999% of the cases, they die when they don't want to.

    When the geese topple our human regime and institute a brutal avian autocracy, only a few chefs will survive the initial carnage.
