If they don't have land to graze these animals on, how do they
eat, Einstein? Do you have any idea how much vegetation those
creatures consume?

And what do those plants grow on? LAND. Duh.

So they have land they can use. That land can be used to grow food
for people rather than animals. This is much more efficient.

Otherwise, you are telling us that those peasants have fodder for
their animals shipped to the animals, which is absurd. They couldn't
possibly afford that.
