Are the cows alive? How do they remove it from the stomach?

No. People used to use stomachs to carry liquid, cheese was probably discovered accidentally when some of the rennet on the inside surface curdled some stored milk. Most rennet is now produced by genetically engineered bacteria but traditional rennet, gathered by scraping the inside of a cow's removed stomach, is still available and generally used in artisanal cheeses only.

What's wrong, don't like beer and cheese? You have an immature palate. Miso soup without bonito and dashi might as well be dishwater soup.
