Why is our relationship with dairy cattle considered a symbiotic relationship?
We have genetically altered the cow to produce a lot of milk, and in so doing we have (perhaps inadvertantly) selected against their ability to survive fully on their own. Therefore, we provide for their basic needs and they in turn provide to meet ours.
