It’s the amount of those animals that is causing a problem. Under normal circumstances, there aren’t going to be as many cows as there are now that humans are breeding them and making farms with the goal of having as many cows as humanly possible to generate meat from. We have majorly increased the cow population to an extreme amount artificially, and enough that it is having an impact on our atmosphere.

The other commenters said it already, but you’re probably still underestimating the sheer amount of cattle humanity keeps.
Only **4%** of the world’s mammal biomass is actually wild animals. Humans make up 33%, and domesticated livestock makes up the rest.
