Dog fighting is horrible, but is it worse than how animals are treated in food processing plants?

With the recent trouble with Michael Vick and his involvement in dog fighting rings, the subject of animal cruelty is on everyone’s minds as of late. But the great unspoken is how animals such as pigs, cows, ducks, and chickens are treated in your basic food processing plants; from cows’ throats being slashed, to ducks being forcefed with a tube down their throat. If dog fighting is a felony offense, then why do major food processing corporations continue to administer their own brand of animal cruelty? Who decided that dogs have more rights than other animals?
If your response is to point out the fact that animals in food processing plants are for food, and therefore the treatment is acceptable, I then ask you this: If dogs were considered food, would it then be acceptable?

Im planning on picking up a German Shepherd that was found as a stray and they took her to the Animal Control shelter which is horrible. Not to mention another word is Death Row. Nobody knows about this place, and the only reason I found it was because I was looking for my lost dogs. Anyway my parents adopted 2 last week and I have one indoors + an older cat. Does it seem like to much to have 3 big dogs outside? 1 inside and a cat to top it off?
