But what would happen to all the cows and chickens if nobody wanted to eat them?  Nobody would want to pay to look after them, and they couldn't be let loose in the wild without causing an ecological disaster.

I don't think so, because chickens still give us eggs, cows give us milk, sheep give us wool, etc.

To give us milk, cows have to have calves.  What would we do with all those baby cows... those delicious, nutritious, baby cows... if nobody was eating them?

Wait until they grow up, and then make milk with them.

I was just kidding about the veagan thing. Except for alcohol and bird seeds I'm mainly a carnivore.

Aren't cow hooves used in making marshmellows?

Uh would you mind coming up with something to support that answer?

And the male cows?

You need them to mate with the female cows, to create more cows.

Yes, that's the gelatin, you can have different types of gelatin. Sometimes it is beef gelatin, sometimes it is pork gelatin, etc. Gelatin is what makes marshmallows and Haribos chewy.

Sorry, I got the quoting wrong, it fixed it now.

Cows will have about the same number of male and female calves.

But you only need 1 bull for a herd of say 50 cows.

So if you are keeping cows for milk purposes and not eating them, you have a lot of spare bulls.  What are you going to do with them if you don't eat them?

Let them live.

....and feed them for nothing? xP

Feed them grass.

Or you can make the cows eat each other.

From whose land? 

Farmers will want their grass for their profitable animals - milk-giving cows, wool giving sheep.

Letting the cows into the wild will disrupt the ecological balance of the area.

Basically, what it boils down to is if we shut down eating meat overnight there would be many thousands of animals slaughtered and their carcasses left to rot.

You know, sometimes, you can be very annoying. You should be a politician.

Well, actually, I'm cleverer than you'd think, and I'm only 12. Probably because I go to one of the best schools in Britain, but whatever.
