Here's what I don't understand about this reasoning: many of the animals you're defending -- such as cows -- have been domesticated to the point of relying on humans for survival. For these, the choice is not "live in captivity, or live free", it's "live in captivity, or not at all". My question is therefore: were you unaware of this, or do you prefer the disappearance of (e.g.) cows over their captivity?

Most vegans would support the extinction of domesticated cows over their forced inpregnation and commodification. These domesticated cows aren’t necessary for keeping the ecosystem in balance, and any cow we don’t breed into existence won’t suffer. There aren’t a group of unborn cows being sad that they never got a chance to exist. There isn’t a strong reason to support cow breeding for the sake of cows existing.
