Wow, sure a radical departure from our chickens lives. Mass depopulation. I suppose for industrial farming, that is the best and most humane way to kill 'em all quickly, due to disease. Maybe better than chasing them all down and ........well, I don't know how they killed 'em all during outbreaks of disease, so if this is an improvement, what the he!! did they do before? Either way, industrial food is some nasty business for the animals.

First they came for the chickens, and we did nothing.......

I'm sure in these circumstances there was never a good way for depopulation. When the butcher chops off its' head and hangs them to bleed out I doubt it is much less terrible for the bird. It is they price we pay to be carnivores at a massive scale.

Ugh, creepy, but I guess it makes sense for containing the pathogen.

It's all about bio security & the overall safety of the consumer. Meat is baptized in a variety of chemicals to keep it safe for consumption.
It's a dirty, ugly, disgusting side of the business that nobody want to admit exists. But when society demands meat that is safe to consume, in mass quantities at the cheapest cost possible these are the kinds of methods that have to be employed.
With the public outcry over recalls, not to mention the consumer confidence that is lost when these recalls happen companies are going to take whatever steps they have to in order to make a profit.
I don't like it either but I understand the reasoning behind it.
