you don't even need to kill the animals
> I don't think many cattle are raised purely to supply tallow
Sheep are raise to produce wool, sheering sheep is good for them, in lots of climates un-sheered sheep are at risk of dying unpleasant deaths due to overheating. (OK humans have probably tinkered with their heredity of moved them from colder location or stopped them migrating). Anyway sheep could be farmed without the plan to kill them.
But they'd still die. We all will.
Once they'd died then the carcases can be used to provide tallow.
