There was a time when industrial farming never existed and most of the farming was done by a countryside property with many herds of sheep and cattle, a few out in the open field and many chickens freely roaming their surrounding. Today farming is more or less known to still have this old perception where every animal lives happily. In fact today farming involves many new and innovative technology, but it's not for the better actually the complete opposite. Although a trip to the supermarket involves watching a lot of seals promoting that the companies treated their animals with intensive care, one example is the humane care seal which is put on egg cartons when owners follow a specific set of procedures. Just because the word humane is in there doesn't necesarily mean that they were treated adequately. In order for one of these seals, these companies can remove the chicken's beaks with no anesthetics in order for them not to kill each other. Also they can put there chickens in very limited where they dont even have enough space to turn around or flap their wings. I have posted a video here which shows how these animals are really treated.
Although these animals are eaten, I think they deserve equal treatment just like other animals. People only get to really see what's posted on their styrofoam trays at the supermarket but never really wonder where their food really comes from. Most of the time these chicken go for days untreated and most of their 6 week lifespan is spent through tons of excrements. Attached to this link, many pictures show how these animals rot and die slow and painful deaths. The decision is up to consumers to investigate where their food really comes from and how it got there.
