I've been in a lot of huge packing houses while animals were being processed. For the most part, the process in the larger plants is as humane as possible so long as it is understood that the whole point is about changing a living animal into a packaged product ready for the consumer to take home, cook; and eat.
In some of the smaller processing plants, they don't have the money to invest in automated equipment so the process is more crude and probably less humane, but the end result is the same.
