I would for sure be for them treating animals as shittily as possible if it made the meat I buy in the store super cheap and freed up resources such as space, food, and metal for use in other industry. Imagine how much healthier people could be if meat was more affordable on a wide scale. We have to think; who's well being is more important, ours or theirs? For me the answer is clear. I don't see animals as people, or equals, or even capable of having feelings or any form of self awareness, because that's the truth.
Fortunately some other people understand there is more options inbetwen black and white, and probably technollogical advances like hidroponics will solve this problem. In any case the problem is us. Global population is a huge mess right now and this nonsense of capitalism has lead us to a point where we need new places to colonize, like in the industrial revolution and so on.
I like Marvin Harris point of view of how wars betwen tribes are a unconcious way of equilibrium when it comes to lower populations and the posterior better "sharing" of resources.
This is not "them or us". Its us doing things wrong.
