MC-279714 Farm Animals don't actually spawn in Badlands, not even on grass (in non-superflat words), despite what changelogs say Open

Confirmed; this is because of the grass block condition that farm animals have. They can only spawn on grass blocks, and there's none of those in badlands.
Perhaps the change was supposed to read as "Farm animals can now spawn in Badlands when grass blocks are placed" instead?
