Well, I have met foxhunters and had first hand experience of their nastiness - they're like a medieval lynch mob, total savages. And I'd quite happily make all the things you mention illegal (definitely in the case of factory farming) but realitiscally I don't think that's ever going to happen (at least not in our lifetime). Change comes very slowly and the best you can do is fight for a realistic number of issues at the time... but I don't eat meat at all, mainly because of the disgraceful rearing and slaughtering methods you describe, so I don't feel hypocritical by opposing foxhunting.
If I had my way, even fishing would go but given how popular that is, no government would even attempt it for fear of alienating too many potential voters.
