    Our breeding and use of cows doesn’t give them any pressure to be smart. So their level of stupidity is at least partially the fault of humans.

      Pretty sure humans didn’t just decide that all herd grazing animals on earth should be dumb as rocks. We are powerful but we don’t have the ability to time travel.

        Yes, that’s true, but all I’m saying is that animal husbandry changes what traits are selected for and intelligence isn’t one of them that we’re selecting for.
