Your point about being housebroken was shown to be wrong. Your point about fetch was shown to be wrong. No one is saying a cow is a dog. You are being deliberately obtuse to avoid the unpleasant idea that cows are just as sentient and loving as many dogs (most dog breeds are smarter than cows but some breeds are stupid). But for cultural reasons we don’t eat dogs.
They are the same in the ways that are relevant to this argument. Some dogs aren’t housebroken. Some dogs you can’t play fetch with. Do you eat those dogs?

I’m not vegan either but I recognize the horror.
so you know they are not the same

i didnt suggest eating any animal is ok. I’m pointing out that is simply untrue to claim there isn’t a lick of difference between cows and dogs
There’s a difference between different dogs too. You write like all dogs are the same. Again not all dogs play fetch or are housebroken.
this doesn’t change whether dogs are different from cows
Your argument wasn’t that cows are different than dogs but that you could play fetch with them.
Stop ignoring the actual argument.
that’s all i’ve been arguing this whole time.
The differences that everyone has already acknowledged that exist between a dog and a cow isn’t relevant to this particular argument.
I’ve already said a cow isn’t a dog. You keep repeating an argument no one is making.
The argument is about the ways in which a cow is similar to a dog.
