Who are you (or anyone) to say how a wild animal’s end should be? If animals are anything like humans (also an animal), they would most likely want to live as long as possible and prefer a natural death over a shortened human-caused death.

Any creation of life is creating suffering. The first Noble Truth of Buddhism is that there is suffering. Accepting that truth the rational action would be to minimize the suffering. Factory farms cause suffering to its inhabitants everyday, much more than the suffering caused from being born. Watch Earthlings [1] to learn about how animals at farms get treated.

That's actually where I started thinking this way. My point was a side point though, I had already addressed the farm animals.
