If people aren’t comfortable watching animals being slaughtered maybe they shouldn’t eat them.

I'm not comfortable watching people changing adult diapers, but I'll visit a nursing home.

I'm not comfortable watching people be killed, but I'll celebrate American Independence Day.

I'm not comfortable with watching surgery, but I'll undergo surgery.

There are loads of things I benefit from that I don't enjoy watching.

EDIT: FYI, I have butchered pigs, chickens, and rabbits.

Would you undergo surgery if there was a more comfortable option with equivalent or better results?

Yes.

People should know how the meat industry works but this reasoning seems extreme.

I am not comfortable watching women give birth, that doesn't mean I shouldn't have children.

I think this is confusing the availability of video with the forced viewing of video.

If you're not comfortable watching a woman give birth, you can choose to avoid the many thousands of available videos. You don't have that option with factory farming methods.

Nobody wants to watch animals being slaughtered on an assembly line, but they should absolutely have the option to see what happens with their food. I don't think there's any moral room for "It would be disgusting and probably harm their business, so we shouldn't film it."

There might be a frequency issue here ;)
