I want to know, if the animal is just walking along minding his own business and then Bam is shot and dies instantly, where do his feelings on the matter come into play? This is going to sound heartless but the animal is dead, I don't think he has feelings on the subject at that point.

Neither would you. Nor did all of those people in D.C. a while back, at least not the ones who died instantly.
