Domesticated species are selectively bred by humans to enhance characteristics we find desirable. Many of these characteristic would be weeded out by natural selection within one generation. Cultivated banana trees, for example, cannot reproduce; and Dairy cows can die if not milked regularly.
That’s a big part of what makes them “domesticated”.

I’m asking why it matters if they go extinct, not if they would.
The OP is about the death of these animals, is it not?
The OP is concerned about preventing the deaths and exploitation of these animals, and the way to do that is to stop breeding them for food.
I’m pointing out why that would backfire.
how?
Because they would die even faster.

We stop breeding them, they go extinct. We want them to go extinct. I don’t understand what you are saying
Going extinct means that they die. Dying results in death.
