In factory settings with no regulation, yes it is most likely true.

So, statistically and in practice, greater than 99% of the time. I think we can dispense with the fig leaf and just admit that killing an individual who doesn't want to be dead is cruel and violent. You might try to argue that it was necessary, and if (for example) it makes the difference between a human living or dying, then that is a valid justification, but it does not make it not cruel and not violent. That truth remains, despite any necessity.

honoring the animal and respecting nature

How do you honor and respect an individual you killed against their will? This is a lie people tell themselves for the sake of moral license. It's only convincing when you want to be convinced. Its function is to allow one to think of themselves as a good person, while doing things that good people do not do.

Animals killing other animals for sustenance

What animals do, or for that matter, what other humans do, has no bearing on the morality of what you and I do. Lions eat their partner's young. Great role model! There are rapists in the world. That does not mean it is okay for you and I to also rape.

I don’t think it’s fair to compare it like you are to child abuse for these reasons.

The animals we create are morally entitled to the exact same unconditional love and protection as our own children. The act of creation creates a debt, not an ownership. It doesn't matter if it's a human infant, a puppy, or a piglet. Creating intelligent life specifically to exploit it is abominable and indefensible.
