Can you tell me why animal rights activists think that the meat industry is inhumane?
<|assistant|>
Animal rights activists think that the meat industry is inhumane because they believe that animals should be treated with respect and compassion throughout their lives and during slaughter, and that the current practices within the meat industry are not only disrespectful but often incredibly cruel.  They argue that the conditions within most factory farms are cramped and unsanitary, often resulting in the animals being subject to malnourishment, extreme temperatures, and other dangerous conditions.  Additionally, many animals suffer during slaughter, either due to the lack of proper stunning or the stress of the slaughter process itself.  They further argue that all animals have inherent rights and should not be treated as merely products or commodities.
