This is one thing I really don't understand, how can you think someone should go to jail for beating a dog, but be happy to fund the slaughter of hundreds of animals over your life.

Because cruelty is the point when beating a dog, whereas it's a byproduct in meat production

What about dog fighting rings where the motive is profit? Or workplaces that expose workers to carcinogens for profit?

dog fights are inherently cruel and produce no product other than those wishing to view cruelty
