Do you think humans invented them then?
Then tell me where the first animals on our planet came from then?
Were they man made then?
Did Adam and Eve invent birds, insects, mammals, fish in test tubes?
Must have been a sizeable test tube for the Dinosaurs.
Unless you meant to say the vast number of animals
bred for human consumption would dramatically drop if there weren't so many humans on the planet?
Is that what you should have said perhaps?
It was the humans who bred like sex-mad rabbits and multiplied and multiplied.
Then some bright sparks thought it a good idea to import millions more humans from their own countries, add a few more, so there wasn't enough food to go round. What a good idea!
Then even more bright sparks thought it another good idea to start 'Intensive Farming' methods to feed all these humans they found they found themselves with?
Animals would certainly NOT die out if we didn't eat them,
but the ones that remained would escape intensive farming systems and their miserable existence until their death.
And seeing as you keep mentioning farmers, I will tell you I was married to one, so do know a little about their way of life - do you?
I also kept over 200 poultry, water fowl, guinea fowl, peacocks, and aviary birds, as well as 11 dairy goats - and never ate a single one. So don't tell me animals would die out if it wasn't for humans.
Some of us just love and enjoy them too.
In fact if you think animals are only kept to eat and be used, your poor dog hadn't better turn his back on you for long!
I have said all I want to say on this subject.
