But if one were able to maintain the large numbers of domesticated / food animals without using fossil fuels to power the farming systems, and didn't make any further land use changes, then there would be no net positive CO2 emissions (there might still be net CH4 emissions, but presumably every CH4 would be released at the expense of CO2, since there's nowhere else for the carbon to come from).

It's only when deforestation and other land use changes made a net shift of carbon in the short term carbon cycle from plants back into the atmosphere, that humans began to make a net positive return of CO2 into the atmosphere (although deforestation is essentially reversible in principle), and it's very true to point out that industrial scale animal husbandry with its high cost in fossil - fuel - derived energy does mean that what might otherwise be a relatively closed system of cycling CO2 from the atmosphere through plants and then animals and back to the atmosphere, does become net positive with respect to CO2 emissions.

Hence, very small fossil record of land animals.
