Every single day you pontificate your superior morality of animals, subjecting them to horrible cruelty. You are surprised people get passionate about the injustices you perpetrate?

It is very likely that this person knew other people and the psychological damage caused by breaking those relationships is not justified, just so you can eat them. However, if this person was a murderer or a rapist or something that deserved the death penalty, then sure, go ahead. They would only be wasting tax in a life jail sentance.
Ok, so its an old person who didn't have any other family an no other personal relationships. Many old people do live isolated lives, so its entirely feasible. The method the murder uses to kill the person is indistinguishable from dying from natural causes, so no chance of getting caught. Your ethics would say murder is permissible in this circumstances.
Are you arguing against the mistreatment of animals on factory farms or against killing animals at all?
They are not the same thing.
And your vision of happy animals in the wild is not accurate.
Their lives can be nasty, brutish, and short; their deaths are usually violent.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
