Because cattle are so harmful to global warming reduction areas and require large amounts of grassland to feed (or even grains) phasing them out and keeping just a few for pets and free ranging in the wild in some locations could be a natural evolution. What could replace them on the American menu? You may have guessed; alligators.
Farming alligators to large size might be used to help recover wetlands lost to development. Hundreds of thousands of very well fed, large gators might be raised in restored and artificial wetlands and commercially exploited, transformed into alligator-burger patties. Alligators fart underwater usually and may be less damaging to air quality. Millions of frumps may be safer and greener than farting in the air.
If Crocodiles replaced alligators for food then saltwater could be used to raise them in vast artificial ponds. Saltwater could be pumped and siphoned in pipelines, evaporated and collected under condensation roofs to make fresh water for the American Southwest deserts. Maybe gators and crocs would let a million points of light bloom, or not while fresh water for drinking was made in New Mexico from Pacific Ocean saltwater.
Some Americans might be relieved that harmless cattle no longer were decattleized as units of meat on the hoof raised and sold as abstract entities for profit and barbecue. Prime alligator rib and barbecued alligator could be more appealing to diners than Herefords sliced and broiled and Guernseys converted when milked dry into dog food pellets.
