At its most fundamental level, leftist ideology is anti-human. Cows provide a large percentage of the human diet. So leftism is also anti-cow:
A New York bill that would restrict the size of cattle farms has sparked controversy as urban climate change legislators from the Big Apple seek to limit rural livelihoods by imposing regulatory limits on the number of cows a farm can have.
That is, regulatory limits on the amount of food that can be made available.
Sponsored by downstate Democrats and several members of the Democratic Socialists of America, NY State Senate Bill 2025-S6530 “Prohibits the department of environmental conservation from issuing or authorizing any permits to new or expanding large concentrated animal feeding operations.”

The pretexts are that farms engage in capitalism and that cows offend the weather with flatulence. “Concentrated animal feeding operations,” according to the draft bill, “are often run by large corporations that squeeze out local competition to maximize profits” and “release significant amounts of methane, a greenhouse gas.”
The first people hurt would be family farmers:
The Northeast Dairy Producer Association reports that New York is the fifth-largest dairy-producing state in the country and that 95% of its farms are family-owned.
The proposed 700-cow limit is only the beginning. Progressives progress by increments. Unless the weather becomes perfect and farms stop making profits, eventually farms would not be allowed to have any cows at all.
