Imagine being pig and realizing your entire existence has been shaped by thousands of years of selection. Unfortunately the sentiment of animal justice is a few thousand years too late. We have literally evolved farm animals into their current form. These creatures have no other purpose than what they have been artificially selected for - human consumption. They have been molded into a bastardization of their former ancestors, their new purpose at the whim of humanity.
I'm mostly rambling, but the main point is that it's not very straight forward. Would it be better if pigs never existed? If we stopped all animal farming tomorrow, how will they survive, where will they go? And I'm not even mentioning morality, which would complicate things even more, especially if one does not believe in a higher power, a.k.a. God.
