It hasn't. Livestock farming started about 10,000 years ago (give or take 1000 years), although this keeps getting refined with DNA studies and I'm not sure what the consensus is. But that also doesn't mean it's necessary in the modern era with modern agricultural practices.

Agriculture began in fits and starts, but the first permanent farms we knew of are even newer- taro farms in New Guinea about 9000 years ago.
Also, homo sapiens have only been around for less than 300,000 years.
10k years is longer than recorded history. That doesn't change anything that I said.
Thank you for the corrections though.
It doesn't change your claim that it's been something we've been doing for thousands of years, but like I said- it isn't necessary in the modern era with modern agricultural practices.
It is though. Without farming we wouldn't even have a modern era.
What was done in the past is not really relevant to what we are able to achieve now.
In the year 2024, we can feed the world without farming animals, so the main argument to keep doing so is tradition.
