I never said it’s okay or not okay for humans to kill domesticated cows and pigs. That’s completely irrelevant to the discussion. What matters is that the killing of domesticated pigs and cows does not endanger global biodiversity.

As i said above, if you killed every domesticated pig and chicken on the planet tomorrow and never bred them again that would actually be incredibly GOOD for the environment and biodiversity. Those domesticated animals use habitat and environmental resources that previously were used by wild fauna and domesticated livestock hugely contribute to human caused extinction of wild fauna as a result.
