Yes. That’s the real answer. In developed countries, most of us kill animals only for pleasure.

And because we want to do that as cheaply as possible, the conditions those animals spend their lives in are pretty bad.

It's not like plants spend their lives in conditions that are any much better.

I will be totally honest and upfront, yes it does. Humans are meat eaters, I am never going to convert away from that diet
Your ethics are off then.
