There are all sorts of things that are “natural” that are at odds with human existence and therefore need to be managed. Viruses are “natural”, forest fires are “natural”, a whole slew of poisons are “natural”, king cobras and Bengal tigers are “natural”, lightning is “natural”, floods are “natural”, weeds are “natural”, toxic mold is “natural”, and the number one killer creature on Earth, the mosquito, is “natural.”
God didn’t direct Adam and Eve to “preserve” the Earth, He told them to “subdue” it. The Earth and its resources are here to serve humans, not to exist without them, as radical environmentalists fantasize about. We need to manage those resources responsibly, of course, but if humans did not exist, the state of the Earth would not matter at all.
As for your cattle example, they exist solely to provide food (and some byproducts) for humans. They serve no other purpose. It’s not like we’re going to release Bessie into the wild to “be free.”
