Whistleblowers have been exposing horrific conditions at these farms for decades.
Everyone knows what's happening. Not enough people are putting in an effort to stop supporting this cruelty.

- We need laws and enforcement. This isn't supposed to be resolved by consumers.

Laws don't protect farmed animals, because they are not recognised by the legal system of having any value outside of being property.
Consumers, however, can chose to not support these industries, and make a deliberate effort to move to a more plant-based diet.
And for those who truly don't know, I urge you to watch Earthlings, which is a documentary from 2005 that shows violence towards animals in these industries. In 20 years since that movie came out, you can find examples of the same cruelty happening everywhere.
We don't tend to hear more about it these days because of laws that punish whistleblowers. But the violence hasn't stopped, because it's inherent in these industries of death.
As individuals, we can either choose to support violence or not.

We can also change the laws

Laws would be in conflict with what these farms do, so they really can't be.
If we legally acknowledge that farm amimals are sentient and deserve the right not to be raised as a product, these industries would seize to exist.
I'd be happy with that, but it's not going to happen unless the majority of society want it to happen. And since the majority of society are still consuming eggs, dairy, and meat, it's an uphill battle.

I believe the farming industry was lobbying or getting laws passed that made undercover whistleblowers illegal in that industry.

Yeah, we need to lobby too

I offer to take in 2 or 3 of these gravy oppressed turkeys.
