The cows we have that we get milk and beef from never lived in the wild. They’re domesticated from wild aurochs that started up around 10,000 years ago. Cows are domesticated food sources that wouldn’t exist without us, just like dogs wouldn’t exist without us.
I wonder if they would all die off if we went extinct? I know most of them would, but I’m not sure if they could survive self care. They’re large enough that some areas don’t have predators that would mess with them. Like, I don’t think a bunch of coyotes would take out a cow and mountain lions would probably stick to smaller stuff.

Ah, yeah, I thought it was if we go extinct, not if we never existed
