Why do you kill them? Do you believe in the wiccan rede? If you do follow the rede, does your heart tell you to extend it to animals as well as humans? Only you can really answer the question as to whether or not killing these animals fits in with your beliefs. If it's being done just for fun, I personally wouldn't think that was right. Because most practitioners of the craft have a nature based belief system and this would IMO be disrespectful to nature. I also don't believe in any form of animal sacrifice so that would not fit IMO. But if I were an exterminator by trade then I would be performing a service by removing vermine that can cause disease. Then IMO it would not be in conflict with my beliefs. Also if the animals were being used as food I would personally not find any problem with it. Again only you can truly answer this question.
Happy journey.
