Do you think cows magically appear out of thin air? We breed them specifically to be eaten/milked. If we stop eating them, there will simply be less breeding. It's not like we have to kill a surplus, we just "empty our stockpile" and don't breed more.

@Thavron I fully believe cows appear out of thin air. It wasn't that many hundred years ago that people though butterflies spontaneously poofed into existence, until a lady drew their life cycle. Just 400 years ago people though mice spontaneously poofed into existence from disgarded rags.
