Can you understand that many meat eaters see a need to lower animal cruelty?
Yes, certainly.
It is far less cruel to die in a slaughterhouse than to be eaten by a carnivore in the wild.
It's not just the end point though. The life before that is likely one of abuse (even in the dairy industry) and a shorter life expectancy. I try to avoid speaking on behalf of others, let alone other species, but I personally would prefer to live a natural life and then die a natural death from a carnivore rather than have the life of an animal on a farm.
Plus the vast majority of those animals would not have been alive in the first place if not for being a source of meat.
We might as well kill them, now that we've bred them? Perhaps stop breeding them then?
