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gazelles, deer, giraffes etc be an equally big a problem, especially since their numbers used to be bigger but have now been replaced by domesticated ruminants, while the whole number of ruminants on the planet doesn't seem to have changed all that much?

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.
go visit a massive feed lot. not clean by any stretch. any animals in those numbers crammed all together standing in piss and shit..
Your talking to a man who had to shovel the barn out every year,when i was young that cow shit was taller than me. We had long winters.....
