If it's morally acceptable to kill animals for the sensory pleasure of eating meat, is it also ok to kill them for other sensory pleasures?

i.e. some people might enjoy hearing their screams or listening to the sound of the blood spurting out of their slit throats

If it’s wrong to kill animals, why is it OK to kill plants?

@LeopoldBloom Because most animals are sentient and plants are not.
@BlueVeins So if animals are raised humanely and are killed quickly without feeling any fear, what's the problem? Temple Grandin has come up with ways to do this.

Also, there is some evidence that plants are sentient.
