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gazelles, deer, giraffes etc be an equally big a problem, especially since their numbers used to be bigger but have now been replaced by domesticated ruminants, while the whole number of ruminants on the planet doesn't seem to have changed all that much?
Buffalo herds across the great plains stretched as far as the eye could see. They were wiped out in order to get native Americans onto the Reservations if they wanted to have food.
I live in oklahoma, we still have a wild herd in the local wildlife refuge. I was driving once and a small herd charged out on to the hiway and ran along side me. I thought they would t bone me at first.

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.

You don't want to share the road with them.
