Although I'd definitely never do that myself, I really can't see what the hell is so bad about that compared to the thorough slaughtering of millions of livestock creatures that happens every year. ALL of the controversial shit occurred after it was killed in (according to the story in the OP) the most humane way possible. Too many people get their panties in a ruffle and wanna give people guff about doing something that is really no big deal just because it makes them uncomfortable.
