Good post. Regardless of the modern mass farming industry, the core of the issue is about harming other animal beings with consciousness (same in kind/kin -- psychological/consciousness beings -- different in degree of psyche/consciousness that emerges from the biological organizational unit), taking their life, when they own themselves and their own right to freedom and life is not ours to take.

We have taken their freedom and their lives for so long simply because we've been in a lower consciousness survival-fear mindset. Now we don't have that excuse (and that's all it was). The excuse to survive doesn't dictate what is moral to do. We may do things to survive but it doesn't make them morally right. What we do doesn't make things right or moral, it's only a choice we engage in. Choice or survival doesn't dictate what is moral or right. What's moral and right should be what dictate our choices and actions.

We can evolve to be better beings. We can evolve consciousness to live as higher, realer and truer version of ourselves that live by higher consciousness principles of morality. The choice is ours.
