I think there is a big difference though in the two scenarios. One is killing an animal for nourishment and other things. The other is torturing an animal for fun and nothing else.

Is the abuse Dusty suffered worse than being torn apart by a bigger animal or starving in the wild?
A big scenario difference? A full pampered life inside a house with full freedom and food catered it's preference plus a couple of minutes of barbaric abuse vs a shitty short life unable to move and standing in your own shit on atrophied legs plus castration, dehorning, debeaking, branding then a couple of minutes of additional torture and then death.
Honestly for a second, which would you pick, Dusty or any of the animals you eat on a day to day basis churned out of corporate factory farms?
Not preaching, I've killed more animals than 99% of people here, just playing devil's advocate.
