Wait... let me see if I understand you correctly Ooze hun, you're saying unless people mass breed cows to slaughter them they would've otherwise become extinct? The state of endangered species is precisely that because of the poachers and hunters that seek the rhino’s horn or the minx's coat. It's because of humanity's greed and illusion of superiority that has brought so many animal species to extinction. And the manner in which cattle is farmed for the slaughterhouses I would believe extinction being a damn side better fate than the former!
