You do realize this reads like the prolog for a serial killer novel. Innocent couple with a slightly odd hobby attracts the attention of a league of serial killers?

It's probably why they can't mention it typically.

Spoken like someone who would rather their meat come plastic wrapped on a foam tray, where they can pretend that these exact things didn't happen in a much less humane way for their convenience.

I know you're just trying to be funny, but it's like drawing an equivalence between grilling meat and torture.

What part of 'prolog for a serial killer novel...' makes you think there's anything serious about my comment?

Almost all meat is factory farmed. Almost all meat animals are killed at a fraction of their natural lifespan. Almost all meat is procured unsustainably, at the cost of the destruction of the biosphere.

Sure, grilling meat is not equivalent to torture, but in >99% of cases it absolutely is.
