  Well nobody is upset at the cows. We’re talking about excessive consumption of cows, in agriculture.

      Carrots and beans take up a fraction of the land required for cattle. Especially considering that most beans are grown to feed cattle.

        Cattle can be raised on land unsuitable for carrots or beans.

        The rainforest is certainly not suitable for growing carrots or beans.

  Cattle agriculture is not cows. It's human beings farming cattle. Also, they are only regenerative under certain conditions. Cows are especially bad in wet soil areas and they can damage the area reducing plant growth through pugging. This can cause soil runoff and flooding. In addition, cattle will displace native flora and fauna. https://extension.colostate.edu/resource/managing-cattle-impacts-on-wet-soils/ https://extension.colostate.edu/resource/managing-cattle-imp... https://extension.oregonstate.edu/catalog/em-9694-ponding-plugging-pugging-how-care-wet-spring-soils https://extension.oregonstate.edu/catalog/em-9694-ponding-pl...
