No, though I've seen small-scale family farms ensure that their stock live pleasantly and are slaughtered humanely, and I myself have tried to make sure food animals I've killed died quickly and painlessly.

Mileage will vary. There are a lot of true horror stories about farming and ranching, and they're not all from industrial feedlots.
