Hunting

Usually done on mass but can be smaller.
Animals are usually slaughtered at a tiny fraction of their life expectancy.

Mass Farming

Injury from bodily stress of unnatural growth and death due to disease is common.

Production
Animals forced to produce milk, eggs, honey, and other products. Usually genetically modified to produce more than the natural amount.
Animals can often develop infections,  wounds, and stress.
Animals who start to produce less are almost entirely sentenced to death.

Slaughter
There is no ethical way to murder an animal that wants to keep living. Animals are generally shocked, shot, gassed, or drowned pre slaughter but often times these systems fail. Animals are often seen screaming and fighting to get away while their throats are slit.
