Note, that those slaughterhouse are usually on smaller scales, than what is considered factory-farming. Slaughtering is just a small part of the suffering anyways and cruelty does not strictly depend on scale. Where I’m from, southern Germany, last time I looked, half of the milk farmers tether their cows, affecting a quarter of the cows in that region. Those are your neighbourhood family-owned farms.
The easiest way to not support any of that cruelty to animals, is to avoid animal based products.

I agree that animals usually kill in way worse ways than us. But that doesn’t really excuse our behavior.
