Are cows NOT domesticated farm animals in “Steven Universe?”
In “Full Disclosure,” we see Steven swipe through the photos on his phone, and there’s this one of Steven and Connie at a restaurant.

And then there’s this line from Garnet in “Too Far:”
Are cows a wild animal that people hunt for sport in this universe?
