In the UK and the rest of Europe this would certainly be illegal. It would come under animal cruelty laws. The farmers could be prosecuted.
The USA is very weak on farm animal welfare legislation. "Land of the free" seems to include farmers being free to kill excess farm animals by a prolonged and cruel death (slow suffocation and heat stress). Appalling.
