Aye, that's certainly true - there's such a thing as, say, a pig being raised on a small local farm doing all the things that pigs do (and enjoy doing) on one hand and intensive pig farming on the other hand, and arguably, the latter is even more unethical than killing a wild animal.
But I think this may also be an issue of "two wrongs don't make one right" - or, more precisely, an issue of the fact that one's able to point to something even worse not making it OK to do something that is not *quite* as bad.
Of course, the question of whether I think it's - basically - acceptable to kill a farm-raised animal but not a wild one remains, and I'm not sure I really can provide an airtight (so to speak), compelling reason for this.
