Well, "Arnold Frederick", it's well-documented that conditions are poor in factories based in other countries where goods are manufactured. You'll probably find many people here that are aware of or sympathetic to the plights that you're casting deserved light upon, while still acknowledging that none of us have the power or ability to enact any real change. So long as these factories offer labor at a tiny cost to the companies, they'll keep being used because the aim of any business is to maximize profits.

So, what answers are you looking for, here. Will anyone here give up their hobbies because the lifeblood that drives the consumer side of them are invariably unrewarded? Probably not. The best you can do is bring your complaint to the companies themselves, and support the sites that have brought these stories to light. I've seen a few. Here's one that I recall:
Holidays by Hasbro

Many of us at some point in our lives have eaten meat products from animals that have been mistreated, thrown around with no regard like dirty laundry and they die, squealing. Out of sight is out of mind, and the sad truth is that for some of us, maybe that's for the best. If I pause to think about any of these things, I recoil in terror and anger.

Are these things unfortunate? Absolutely. Your pleas, while compelling, might be better received by the people who affect these unscrupulous practices.
