The sad fact is that people really don't care that they subsidize cruelty. There have been so many videos that show the reality of the livestock industry but really, people choose not to face the fact that they are the cause of what they refuse to even look at.
People who eat meat will rant and rave about other cultures eating a relatively few dogs, they'll rant about cruelty to pets but will eat a dead animal and pretend its not the same.
Take responsibility for what you say and do.
As someone who has hunted and slaughtered pigs, I think your thinking we all bury our heads in the sand is a bit naive.
I stand by what I wrote. My bet is that very few do not know the meat they eat is produced with absolutely mind-numbing cruelty. They know and they choose to ignore it.
Less than 6% of our population hunts and most people live in urban areas. For many, the closest they get to a real animal is when they sit down in front of their dinner plate. For them, "meat" is bloodless, clean, pristine, wrapped in plastic and found under bright lights in a display case. Hell, many believe their tomatoes come from a grocery store and have no clue as to the reality behind their food.
Further, many people, if they think of it at all, have the image of something like Davy Crockett when they think about hunting.
I don't have much respect for hunters because I've often seen the result of what they actually do. I doubt most people, including hunters, would be able to kill their own food if dropped off at a slaughterhouse but peoplere willing to pay others to do it for them. Although I question the motives of many who hunt, I will give them that they are willing to get their hands dirty.

Regardless, but for hunters, a great many urban people would put their lives in their hands driving to buy their tofu as their route to the vegan store would likely involve crashing into deer.
