It seemed strange to me as well. IIRC she cares about (empathises with) cows only as not to be a disturbance in the killing process. Eg. single column access, remove direct sight of blood, steps to "guarantee" the painless death, etc. But there is nothing what can be done with the smells and sounds, all animals know beforehand they're gonna be killed, and with the nature of the killing job causing unnecessary 'mistakes' and violence. It's something different to see her talking in a meat processing facility, cleaned up and ready for filming, and then see hidden recording of the process (won't describe it here, it's too gruesome). And she can do nothing for the slaughtermen and their families themselves. They have a plethora of psychologic problems themselves, have to see a shrink every 3 months, if i'm not mistaken, and their families often have higher numbers of domestic violence than normal.
