Yes I seen a report were they used air pressured hammers on cows, they busted them in the head with it and the cow laid there and kicked a few minutes before dying. That is just terrible, and cruel.
Then yes the chicken farms like Tyson's chicken, I almost worked at one of their plants tell I saw how nasty it was....
It really is amazing that God has given us animals whose sole purpose is to be our friends :3
I think about that when I sit with my cat, the cat sits and purs when I pet her, and is excited to see me when I come home. Dogs love us so much that they put their lives at risk in order to protect us. It is amazing when you think about the gifts He gives us with animals.
If you have an animal that provides you with work, food or even companionship, Im totally sure God would want you to return the favor by providing their needs and keeping them safe.

We need to care for animals and have no reason to be cruel, but having had horses, I know we also have dominion over the earth and that would include animals. Sometimes an animal needs a quick slap. They are capable of harm if they do not know you are in control. Just like with children, always better to deal with an issue without a slap but there is certainly a difference between a swat and harming them.

Hear hear 
(I know it is out of context... but I still think it applies):
7“But ask the animals, and they will teach you,
or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you;
8or speak to the earth, and it will teach you,
or let the fish in the sea inform you.
9Which of all these does not know
that the hand of the Lord has done this?
10In his hand is the life of every creature
and the breath of all mankind.

God ordered animals killed via sacrifice, is that considered cruelty? God killed all animals (saved a few) with Noah's flood, is that cruel? When the Israelites destroyed Canaanite cities, God often order all the animals in the cities to be killed. Does that make God wicked? Assuming animals are innocent, and aren't killed for food, was it righteous for God to kill them?
Imo, animals suffer because of man, whom God gave dominion over every creature. Death came to man through sin, and every living thing dies because of it.
