There's no doubt that killing cows like we do now will be outlawed after we find another way to have the steak.

Perhaps. Which will likely lead to fewer cows in existence than we have now, since killing cows the way we kill other animals (e.g., by building on their habitats) probably won't be.

It's not due to our great intelligence, that we are stuck on this mud ball having to wipe out the things we like for the things we like more.

I suspect you overestimate how much most people like cows...

You'll like the cows when there's vat grown steak and we make the ads for it :) . (I do some CGI for advertising).
