They're domesticated versions of wild animals that existed long before humans.

And if you let a pig out of its pen, it'll very quickly return to its instinctual lifestyle and absolutely thrive virtually anywhere. Wild pigs have no problem attacking people and even eating them.

Pigs exist just for humans as much as coyotes do. Which is to say, they don't.

I agree with this. Religiously, I believe plants and animals are for the benefit of mankind. However, they must be used responsibly.

I am the opposite of religious, but I agree

Because everything on this planet and beyond exists only for humans to exploit and use up? That’s a very narrow take on things.

No. Animals that humans breed, farm, and that rely on humans for every aspect of their lives. They exist for humans to exploit.

That is a very narrow part of things

Isn't that a circular argument?

They only exist for humans to exploit because humans put them in that situation.

Yes. We could stop, then no cows or pigs.

So because humans started exploiting them, obviously we can’t stop. Right.

their roles could get more interesting once we give them neuralinks and higher educations

A science fiction story about a group of machine learning data labelers who get outsourced to neural interface outfitted livestock sounds promising.
