But without farming cattle for beef or milk there wouldn’t be cows?

I’m not sure why this is asked so often, how the hell can someone who eats animals need to see them in the field first or stand at a gate with the kids giving out an “Ahhh” when the calves become curious or want to eat grass from your hand. Surely anyone who wants to toy with or watch a creature which is soon to be killed is slightly weird if they are about to be complicit in that murder?

Its weird, I have pondered upon the question of where I would like to be born into a live of misery or not born at all. I cant say I have come to a conclusion – although I think I am leaning towards the latter choice.

If you think its nice to see cute animals and then turn your back and shout “LA LA LA LA” at the top of your voice as not to hear them be milked or slashed to death in a farm then you are kidding only yourselves.

There is a lot of evidence which says many farm animals (sheep especially) could live in the wild without our influence as deer do currently. I’m not sure if cows might be able to live a wild existence after many years of poor husbandry, they are a grazing animal not that dissimilar to the wild American Bison so who knows.
