Yeah but how else can we cram hundreds of animals into a small place while keeping them in extremely unhygienic conditions in order to maximise profit?

You mean to tell me living knee deep in your neighbor's shit is unhygienic? Wild.

This also ends up leading to all kinds of zoonetic diseases in general (even outside of just antibiotic-resistant ones)

A number of intensive animal production methods have been implicated in zoonotic disease emergence in the literature (Table 1). The intensification of animal agriculture through confinement and industrialization has directly led to the emergence of viruses including Nipah and H5N1 influenza (“swine flu”) (18) and antibiotic-resistant infectious bacteria including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli (19, 20).
