Is it OK to cold call in this situation?

I don't understand why everyone seems against calling with K9s. We have a hand that plays well in a multi-way pot (there were 3 limpers) in position. We also have good relative position on the LAG if we flop a pair on a favorable textured board. I think this is a lot closer between raising or calling, rather than raising of folding.
