Factory farms do not make animals suffer less, quite the opposite

No, factory farms are indifferent to suffering. The suffering or wellbeing of the animals means absolutely nothing either way unless it affects efficiency or profit.
Factory farms optimize efficiency and profit, not suffering. That the most efficient and profitable methods tend to cause greater suffering is merely a coincidence.
There is no malice, just indifference.
Looks like you're making up a strawman to ague with. But either way, I hope no one is ever indifferent to the suffering of you or your family. Sounds like hell.

"Factory farm" is the wrong term to use here. This is specifically about the slaughterhouse, which might have almost no connection with the farm.
