We should be concerned about both.

That said, whether to spend your energy on global poverty or abolishing factory farming really comes down to how you highly you rank animal suffering.

Is a thousand chickens tortured from birth to slaughter, worse than someone dying from malaria? What about ten thousand?

It's not at all obvious to me how animal sentience compares to human sentience, but it's clear to me that we should at least give it some consideration.

Even when I give animals only a fraction of the concern I have for humans, it's clear to me that factory farming is an incredible source of unnecessary suffering.

I hope we can learn to be considerate of not only humans different from us but other species too.
