do you have any data on the domesticated species surviving without artificial assistance?
Define artificial assistance? If you mean human care like feed and safety, then I fail to see how that is relevant. It's similar to asking if I have data on Boston terrier lifespan without human assistance in the wild. We created these breeds.
The lifespans I gave are lifespans with care (feed, shelter) given in the case of the domesticated species. Im very interested in why you think data on domesticated species living in the wild is relevant, but if you are interested in the hardness of domesticated species, there is an interesting case of a cow escaping the slaughterhouse in Poland to live with a herd of wild bison. No idea what ended up happening, but it caused quite a stir that she survived winter just fine.
the claim is their natural life span is 15 to 20 years, but that's simply untrue. that's an artificial life span.
I think that's being a bit obtuse. It's obvious that "natural" in this context means not cut short by slaughter/disease/etc. The natural lifespan of the human being is what could be said to mean how long a human lives if an early death doesn't take them. Moreover, that range can include the tribal human living without processed food or electricity or the sheltered city dweller living safely alongside their McDonald's.
they could choose to say that, but instead they said natural, implying there are dairy cattle roaming in nature, and we know how long they live. they made a claim that simply isn't evidenced.
tautologically, everything people do is artificial.
