First thing that came to my mind: why would cows be different from any wild ruminants? If it has something to do with how domesticated ruminants are fed, why just cows and not sheep or goats? And if it is how they are fed, wouldn't then the solution be changing their diet, like not feeding cows grains and what else they are fed before slaughter, because surely it can't be their natural diet of grass? Because if it was wouldn't all the wild ruminants like bison, gazelles, deer, giraffes etc be an equally big a problem, especially since their numbers used to be bigger but have now been replaced by domesticated ruminants, while the whole number of ruminants on the planet doesn't seem to have changed all that much?
But mostly I was just pointing how damn many holes about that idea came up without even trying to think about it. As said, lots of wild ruminants, way more in the past, less now but more cows, the end number of all ruminants in the world is probably still about the same, and they all have similar digestions and produce the same damn gasses from their digestive tracks.
Can't some people think at all anymore! How the hell could anybody have believed that "cows bad for climate" thing in the first place! By this time everybody must have heard that "millions of bison in North America before the evil white people came" story about a thousand times during their life, and those damn things have pretty much exactly the same type of stomachs as cows do... hello, idiots, as far as farting and/or belching methane is concerned cow = bison, bison = cow.
Yes I know, it's not the farting, it's getting rid of domesticated animals we can eat. All this just gets a bit frustrating sometimes. Half of the time, well, more, the wannabe rulers of the world aren't really even trying with their explanations as to why we should do something. And many people still swallow it all whole.

So: why just cows?
They lie about everything. I bet cows are 100 times cleaner than they say. Also 200 years ago, we had more buffalo than cows today.
Exactly.

You sure like saying ruminants a lot.
