It's not, really. I mean, at the margins, sure, I'm sure the "Meat Industry" does some lobbying. But this is 99.42% culture war. Florida republicans aren't trying to do a random favor for a niche industry[1], they're banning their political enemies to excite their base.
This would be like trying to get woke votes by putting "Pronoun Choice" as a field on your government tax forms or whatever. Except of course that this is actually happening.
[1] A quick google says that the USA meat market revenue is about half of Apple's or a quarter of what Amazon pulls in. This is a real industry, but not a big one.
