I feel you, though. I am pondering the idea of raising meaties, but I'd be afraid of exactly what you went through.
It's tough but it was him or my entire flock. Too much crowing pisses off neighbors... not to mention he had poor traits I didn't want him to pass on... My remaining roo is beautiful(imo) and VERY people oriented... also a wonderful provider for the girls... as sweet as this one was... he was stupid... and wandered too far from the flock often - was greedy and selfish and constantly stole opportunities that the hens were offering the /other/ rooster which caused a fight and one scared hen constantly caught in the middle - screeching as they both try to pin her at the same time. Not a lovely thing to be unable to break up.
Sounds like he would have been a menace wherever he went and it was necessary to cull him. You did the right thing, even though it was hard.
