Egg laying hens are kept in cages the size of a piece of paper in width and height. Beforehand, the beaks of the hens are cut off to prevent pecking and when the hen is removed to be slaughtered for pet food after 72 weeks in the care workers need to cut off their talons which had overgrown around the wiring of the cage.
I'm no vegan, nor vegetarian but if you are going to compare animal suffering then you should consider the details. Live-stock factory farming is largely unethical for the same concerns of overcrowding, sanitation, confinement, and general treatment.
