It's a sad fact of life that this level of consumption is only possible through systematized large scale cruelty to animals with current technology.
I don't agree. In fact you could fix a lot of what's wrong without even spending more money to do it than it would have cost to do right in the first place. Modifications to slaughterhouses like having the cows go through a curved passage so they can't see what's happening to others in front of them for example. Obviously you can't fix feedlots without eliminating them, so some things are basically unsolvable, except that we don't actually need feedlots and could eliminate them.
Therefore I'd say the sad fact is that we don't even give a fuck about reducing the cruelty.
