So when are a cow’s rights violated? When a human being inflicts, cruel and malicious harm on the animal, especially when it is unnecessary.

The cow has no rights per se but the person caring for them has certain obligations. If you own a slaughter animal you must feed, water and if it is housed have sanitary conditions for it. The above conditions apply to animals hauled any distance and protection must be afforded from extreme conditions of heat and cold while being transported.

I think it is unusually cruel how swine and fowl are mass produced. I saw a massive 700 foot long hog barn a few weeks ago, in the east wing was the piglet nursery the next three divisions of the barn were dedicated to growing and fattening with special foods, additives and lights. The only time the pigs see the natural light of day is when they step out of the barn to be loaded and driven 50 miles to a slaughter barn. There is a chicken rendering plant a few miles from here where local producers haul dead and dying egg laying chickens. The chickens are loaded into a cannon and shot at a hundred miles per hour into a gigantic fan the residue of which is made into pellets to feed chickens awaiting either the market or the same fate. I can't believe this type of production is how nature or God intended.
