It's impersonal and hideously ugly and the animals suffer greatly. However, the solution they have created, which harkens back to before industrialized agriculture, is simply to still raise animals for their flesh and secretions, and for profit, but to do it the old-fashioned way. It's cruel. There's no "compassion" in the process.

So, even if animals are killed painlessly and raised for food in humane ways, it is wrong to kill them. Presumably most animals—even infants—would have the right not to suffer. Consequently, the killing of some animals for food, if done painlessly, is not morally objectionable. But this is surely dubious.

Since animals cannot be judged morally praiseworthy or blameworthy, the question of whether it is morally wrong for them to eat meat cannot be raised.
