I grew up on a farm many years ago but can only talk about my experience. We always treated our poultry well, giving them feed and water routinely and talked with them and never mistreated them in any way. We were able to remove eggs from the nests even when there was a hen 'setting' because we had a good relationship.
If a chicken was unpleasant or mean, they were the ones eaten but there were few of this type.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
