As a Swedish dairyfarmer: sure, there are bad apples everywhere. But the majority of us loves our animals and if they don't get treated well they don't produce well.
But we need you consumers to help. Visit farms when possible, buy local or at least farmer-owned brands with high standards. Show that you care, vote in the EU election. etc.
The meme specifies "industrial". I don't think any industrial farmer has any love for their animals.
Industry and industrial aren't the same. The animal industry includes local farms, since they are part of the sector/industry. Industrial farms/factories are a subsector of the industry, the ones that are the actual cancer on society.
