This is the dumbest thing I’ve read all day, congrats. Somehow eliminating cows would lead to exploding deer populations? And even if it did, deer don’t produce methane at the rate that cows do lol. One of the biggest reasons cows emit so much methane is their shitty feed.
Cows, deer, sheep all make as much methane per unit mass. If they didn't we could simply inoculate whichever is the worst with the gut bacteria of the best, since they are all ungulates, they all rely on bacteria to break down grass to something they can digest directly
Or do you imagine there's is something else we could grow on that land that was judged only good enough for cattle
I can’t tell if you’re trying to make a bad joke or you really have no idea how this works lol. Or maybe just trying to troll?
