Most species of Fish, Amphibians and many less complex animals do this. 99.9% of them dieing in before reaching adulthood might be a good approximation for some species. A painful death doesn't seem worth a brief life as a wild animal.

Juvenile r-type species tend to have so little neurological development, I think their capacity for experience is probably pretty minimal in any case.
