How does the scene with the cows erase any of that? “Nobody cared abt what happens to the cows” Well maybe that’s bc it wasn’t a priority for any of them at the time? Everyone had to worry abt helping 99 puppies escape someone who wants to murder them and their family while surviving a blizzard, none of the dogs had the time or energy to help the cows escape the farm or anything like that?
I’ll admit later on there are things in the franchise like the 90s cartoon where they interact with several farm animals and they don’t acknowledge how messed it up it is that the animals are all smart like humans, but in context of just the movie the story didn’t call for that to be brought up and Cruella is still vilified for wearing coats of other animals, not just dogs. She is still evil, she didn’t “deserve” anything. (And also, the car chase at the end was so reckless it could have killed the innocent truck driver as well)
