How is it any people cannot put themselves in that place with imagining? Even animals could identify with what would not be desirable. Humans should have the sensibility to know they would not want what the animals being used are put through, we can likewise choose to not have anything to do with that, and we can already find out ourselves that there are ways to be very healthy this way without products from animals. And the same amount of use of resources for it and contribution to damage to environments with loss of species does not need to be continued then. https://healthyaging.emory.edu/could-eating-30-plants-a-week-be-the-answer-to-better-health/

    If we didn’t eat cows there would probably not be many cows at all.

    Look up what happened to sheep in America after people mostly stopped eating mutton.

      Assuming this is even accurate… it’s bad because…?

      If they’d go extinct then either let them or help them. How is forcefully breeding them just for torture and genocide better than them going extinct?

        Torture most cows I see live a pretty good life. Roam around outside eat and are feed in the winter. Not all cows are killed at that age. And this is slightly wrong for cows usually butchered around 2. I mean at least be accurate.

      Would you rather live to be exploited to death or not be born at all?

      Sheep are not native to the Americas and are not extinct, far from it actually.

        Cows are pretty stupid and very inefficient animals. Never spent time on a farm?
