I do not think that there is necessarily a conflict - you could really, really want this animal killed in this specific way for religious reasons and still not want the animal to suffer. You might believe that animals can not suffer, you might believe that god makes the animal not suffer in this case, or whatever. So I think one should be careful to not mix up really, really wanting to kill an animal in a certain way and really, really wanting the animal to suffer. But I will happily accept that there are at least some people facing a conflict. With regard to your more general point that those desire are not exceptionally strong and involve conflicts - sure, notwithstanding me arguing against this in this specific case, I will grant you that, this is certainly possible. But I am not sure that you could make this point in the general case, I do not see why there could not be strong religiously motivated desires without conflicts. Finally and notwithstanding the points above, I still think we are focusing to much on the really, really aspect. I do not think that the focus of the original comment was on the strength of the desire but on the lack of rational justification.
