Serious question, wouldn’t cows and chickens basically become extinct if we didn’t use them for food? Cows can’t reproduce on their own and chickens would be easily killed by wild animals.
Most of the animals are bred sick just to maximize production. The answer to your question is self regulation - the amount of animals we are producing is absolutely unnatural. It is not like millions of chickens would populate the world if we wouldn’t exist. They are artificially fabricated in factories.
Why should a cow bred for maximizing milk production should exist and what should they do, jump around in the fields? A normal cow from some decades ago could get older than 20, while they are nowadays bred to produce as much milk as possible and die within 5-6 years.
This doesn’t feel like an actual serious question.
Try looking up wild cows and jungle fowl.
Yes the domestic cow and chicken would probably go extinct if no one was continuing to domesticate them. That’s kinda how evolution works

They don’t die in 5-6 years, they stop producing milk in high quantities and are slaughtered and used as low quality beef.
