Could you clarify what moral system you use without using pain, suffering or related words? (I honestly cannot think of a way to do so for mine, but that may just be me being new to the Taboo concept).

If your moral system doesn't care about suffering at all (human or otherwise) than there is no contradiction.

Not at all. It would more sense to taboo 'morality' than 'pain', expressing everything in respect to preferences. "Pain" is fairly clear.
