I'm not a Christian, but while I was that is how I interpreted it. I was taught we were supposed to be good stewards of creation. I personally never saw a problem with things like slaughtering animals, but thought the conditions of most farms weren't acceptable. I never had to think about it enough to really draw a line about what ways to treat animals was okay and what wasn't, but things like stuffing as many animals as possible I to as little space as possible getting them as far as possible as quick as possible just felt like too much. I also believed things like rampant deforestation were wrong for the same reason. God didn't give us a free pass to treat the environment how we see fit.

I mean, neither am I anymore, but yeah.

In evolutionary terms, domestication was reciprocal. We see them safely into the world, protect them through life, and see them out. Both species benefit. Factory farming is a short-sighted violation of that; the animals lead miserable lives, the surrounding ecosystem (as well as any human habitation) suffers, and you couldn't design a better laboratory for new zoonotic plague if you tried.
