Personally I care despite being a huge meat eater. There's no reason for cruelty other than laziness and indifference.
Id generally draw the line at insects. And yet most insects for consumption are treated quite well.
Again personal opinion but creatures like cephalopods, primates, dolphins and whales just shouldn't be touched in general, we should let the other smart animals be, they are the backup plan for the only known life in the universe.
