I suppose it ' s a pretty fair reaction from an emotional viewpoint . it sucks and I hate animal cruelty too . If you look at the sheer volume of animals killed compared to the abuses , there is some consolation that isolated instances are nearly guaranteed at a large enough scale . Of course there is a really simple way to solve the problem , but no one is into it . Have animal rights organisations crowdfund the costs of surveillance systems and have a public feed , restricted for monitoring purposes . Volunteers and interested parties can monitor them freely . Employees will be aware that they won ' t get away with sadism . Employers aren ' t out of pocket and they can ask a market premium for their products as they are approved by the scheme . The outlay is minimal . The incentive to do right is huge . The market impact could be quite positive . Abusers and cases of abuse can be dealt with in a timely fashion . The entire process can be streamlined and better processes implemented through review . What ' s not to like ? I don ' t understand the hurdle with this , why isn ' t this already the standard ?
