Abuse of animals

1628: 

Farmers don’t recognise that animals have a life of their own, where human interests play no part at all. To any animal farmer, the very thought of animals being anything other than a resource for human convenience is anathema. To build up a relationship with an animal is unthinkable. After all, the intention is to get it to a point where it can be murdered.

So, animals are there to be profited from. That they are abused is incidental. Any docile animal might be up for grabs. For the human, any useful animal is simply a business opportunity, that’s all. To keep up with competition, and to keep the Industry's shareholders happy, a few principles have to be compromised, and at that point the abuse starts.
