This question is equal parts serious and facetious, but I can't stop thinking about it: where do vegans who are fully opposed to cattle and dairy farming think domesticated cows will GO without those industries? Do they think they'll just... return to nature, minus the methane?

I could have said that better. I guess what I mean is that even the worst case scenario (not eradication--there are plenty of cows not interred by the dairy industry) doesn't seem much worse than the status quo.

Your argument--treat them better--I think most vegans would agree with as at least a step in the right direction. But why have the industry at all? No other animal drinks another's milk. We have so many options now.

No other animal builds houses, either. The fact that only humans do a thing doesn't make it inherently bad.

I didn't address the question if they'd be returned to the wild because I didn't realize it was a genuine question. I don't think any one sees that as an option.

Which is what confuses me. If the issue is that it's morally wrong to kill animals for any reason, then what happens to those animals once you shut down the industries that care for them? Saying you'll just kill them *wastefully* feels like a major moral contradiction.

One of my college friends, a militant vegan, argued at least once that predators "should be allowed to go extinct" so that prey animals wouldn't be killed anymore.

That's crazy! One of my college friends, a militant omnivore, used to say"if god didn't want us to eat animals he wouldn't have made them out of meat."
