It’s not a question of HaShem being Merciful. We know He is the reservoir of all Mercy. The question is that Jewish law prohibits the ill-treatment of animals. And without a doubt, even in so-called Kosher slaughterhouses, the animals are mistreated and cruelly kept. And if a rabbi needs to get his quota in for the day, there is no way he can check always the knife. Also a while back a truck carried meat labelled “Kosher” was stopped coming from Gaza into Israel. To my last checking, there were no Kosher slaughterhouses in Gaza.
Also, because meat makes us sink deeper in teva, many great rabbis like the Lubavitcher rebbe said unless one can elevate the slaughtered animal, best to only eat meat on Shabbat. The Baal Shem Tov also writes about it. That being the case, I and many others do not feel that the food is actually kosher.
