The seperation of the animals and the products their bodies are packaged up to resemble keeps us numb to the horrors of slaughterhouses.

does not matter the quality of life of any animal rasied to be exploited for their body. All of them end up in the same slaughterhouse.

it is illegal to film how your food is made if you eat animals. they want to keep you willfully ignorant.

There's only a few standing laws to the contrary, most of which are unenforceable but a few of which are "creative". Learn more here.
