In the scheme of animal ag, that is pretty tame. Most animals are kept in tight quarters, are prone to disease, will be killed when they get a disease that would “cost too much”, live in their own faeces… and are then killed so that someone can experience a very specific kind of pleasure when eating them.
Anima welfare discourse like this is sometimes well-meaning but tends to ignore the elephant in the room: what happens to the other animals you eat?
The Soviets killed a bunch of Nazi soldiers after they were captured (fucking good) and put a lot more into their gulag system for 4-10 years where they either died or ended up reeducated. Nazi soldiers were not treated well, though said Nazis were trying to genocide all kinds of groups, including settler-colonizing Russia, and burned, raped, and pillaged their way to Stalingrad, so I’m not going to cry over them under any circumstances.
