I think unfortunately it has always gone one and will always go on I think, people in general can be horrendously cruel. Not that that's an excuse - obviously when it is uncovered the people involved should be arrested and prosecuted (and properly, usually animal cruelty charges are very light).

I remember seeing g a video a few years ago that was really quite traumatic. People in a slaughterhouse picking up piglets by the ankles and slamming them repeatedly into a concrete floor. Really horrible stuff. And, I guess, shows that it goes on in "normal" slaughterhouses too, as halal / kosher slaughter obviously doesn't include pigs.
