No, we don't do "the best we can". Ever heard of factory farming? Do some research, and you'll likely find out some rather disconcerting information. It isn't all as clean and humane and nice as you imagine it to be.

Factory farming is deliberate cruelty that is "necessary" for large profits. Force-feeding geese for foie gras is exactly the same. It's just that foie gras is not a mainstream food, and while people would riot if the pork at Walmart suddenly became thrice as expensive, they do not particularly care if foie gras is banned.

Since you went through the trouble of looking up the meaning of my nickname in the dictionary, here's another word you might want to look up: hypocrisy
