I don't think you appreciate quite how many heads of cattle exist compared to comparable mammals that live in nature, and what it would look like if the world's cattle population was "free range".

The way we raise cattle is extremely efficient. Not least in terms of space.


> I don't think you appreciate quite how many heads of cattle

Born and raised on a cattle station with multiple STEM degrees and decades mapping the world (large scale geophysical land and ocean survey) behind me ..

I don't think you appreciate how laughably condescending you come across.

Points being:

* I understand the total number of cattle under direct human management,

* I know that cattle can survive just fine without human management .. even in urban environments (ever seen free range unowned cattle in India?),

* I've already linked to what feral cattle look like and the damage they do.
