Part of the odd dilemma that domestication poses is that you have to be simultaneously close and not close to your resource animals. With hunting, you can drop into some distant habitat, pick out a target which is still somewhat anonymous, and then make your kill and the animal instantly becomes meat as it is taken apart. The animal makes the switch from a revered object at a distance to a closer and more intimate resource such as food, shelter, and clothing, which also can still be revered in its own way.
What many farmers have to do with the animals that they live with and kill for food - and even taking resources like milk and eggs requires some degree of exploitation and accompanying mental distance - is avoid naming individuals and dwelling too much on the individuality and personality of any given animal, keeping the animals in the sort of mystery of the wilderness as is seen with the hunted, but up close, compartmentalized away as not-quite-living things which are more like simple walking resources.
With milk animals and egg-layers, one may spend too much time with the individual animals and it becomes harder to eventually butcher the animal, though it is certainly done all the time in many culturally determined ways.
