My comment wasn't about whether it's wrong or not to kill animals - I absolutely prefer than an amimal's death is witnessed by those who will profit from it. It's the case where, particularly in the sheltered west, we have people who happily eat meat and yet would not kill the animal themselves to do so, and would save a cute animal from suffering if given the opportunity when they see it, but do nothing to stop suffering from happen when they cannot see it.

As you say, it is the purpose of the industrial machine to hide these horrors from us. But it's shameful for those who ignore that it exists and still profit from it.
