If you are asking me: Pagan/Wicca is a diverse mob of people with each their ways, so there is no one answer.

The only example I know of is (some) Asatru who sacfrifice an animal (blot) at Midwinter and Midsummer. It is done without pain or fear, and only animals which have had a reasonable life are chosen. The animal is then processed and eaten.
