Yes but slaughterhouses in the US do not throw live cats into vats of boiling water nor hang dogs by their necks from trees, beat them with baseball bats and skin them while still alive.
My point is if you are going to slaughter, at least minimize the pain and suffering as much as humanely possible. Animal eating will not stop anytime soon. All I'm trying to do is improve the conditions and treament of the animals as much as possible and you can only accomplish that by making people aware of what goes on all over the world and trying to enact legislation to change things as best as possible.
