Certainly, a serious problem regarding modern animal agriculture is the hyper-confinement of animals, which most people see as something unnatural and even cruel.

Humans sometimes go to extreme measures to keep doing something
that is clearly not working. Instead of fixing the problem at its root, in
this case transitioning from animal agriculture to a plant-based
agriculture, we tend to devise ways to continue exploiting God’s animals.
While it’s unlikely these oculi would be part of the animal-based
agriculture industry, this device exemplifies our lack of critical thinking
and mindfulness.
