Your argument skips over some very important subtleties that the film elaborates on. In fact, there is little in your argument to disagree with.
The bigger issue is about the widespread view of animals by the public. Most people don't know what kinds of techniques are used by factory farms, animal trainers, etc., so it's not possible to really think rationally when dipping your McNuggets in barbecue sauce about the situation you are consenting to.
Just as war is sterilized for public consumption ("smart" bombs, etc.) animal abuse in entertainment and food production is hidden from view and stories about the farm down the street are substituted for reality.
