Yes. If you read up on industrial meat production, the industry is rife with human rights abuses as well.

I’m not like super into trigger warnings, but if you’re gonna read up on industrial meat production, you need to be emotionally prepared.

In addition to this, it's especially prevalent in lower income neighborhoods where people have limited job opportunities, dispoportionally affecting POC. Often as well to get citizenship opportunities in countries they will only accept you if you agree to work in a slaughterhouse, because no one else will.
