I think the only animals that deserve to suffer are rapists, murderers, child molesters, and the like. They're lower than any other animal mentioned above. I can see no reason to make an animal suffer, whether through a "marginal shot" or otherwise. If it's in your control to kill cleanly and humanely, I see nothing wrong. If a shot is taken just to shoot, without regard for the consequences, I can't agree. Anyone who takes "questionable shots" at animals considered to be "annoyances", just for that reason, is being vindictive, IMO.
