I would consider it quite unlikely that I would develop a relationship with a cow, however on the outside chance that there existed a cow that could communicate well enough with me that I would become friends with it, then I probably wouldn't kill it unless I had no other food available and was actually starving.
Probably.
Actually, I really don't know. What were the circumstances under which I met this cow? did I buy it in order to eat it, and then grew fond of it over time, or did i stumble upon it over an online forum and from there our friendship blossomed? The underlying reasoning would probably affect my actions somewhat.
