Interesting. Wouldn't it be much more appropriate to argue a false dilemma in this situation?

You suggested gradual elimination, which is an elimination process. I would argue that neither fallacy apply.

I wonder what proportion of animals would chose non-existence over existence if they could understand such concepts. That's quite the decision to make for them.

May I suggest you look at some footage from slaughterhouses to make that determination for yourself? Or, if you're particularly stoic, I dare you to watch Earthlings.
