The only way to get the cow out of the boat is by destroying the boat.
You need to use a lead to make the cow/animal to stand up, but dont walk away because then it will just get back in the boat. When on the lead, the animal will just kind of stand on top of the boat, then you can destroy the boat with a sword without hurting the animal.
If the cow entered there accidentally,remove the boat by hitting it(dont hit the cow!),and dont let it get back in the boat again,if you do not want this trouble again.
You cant hit the boat on the sides or else it hits the animal.
I was transporting my horse and had to get under the boat AND hit the boat in the right spot (seemed to be a bottom corner).
Amazingly I just used a lead to remove a dog from a boat. I havent thoroughly tested this, but you happen to have a lead, use it on the animal (you may or may not need to lead it out).
Adding to Bobs answer, you can use F3+B to view the hitboxes of the boat and the animal, to make sure when breaking the boat you dont accidentally hurt the animal too

Theres a couple of ways to get from point A to point B in Minecraft, but each has a downside. Riding a horse is one, but you need to tame it first. Another is the classic minecart, but you need to lay down miles of track to make it actually work. The fastest way is actually by boat, but you need a body of water to use it. Or do you? One Minecraft player has found an ingenious way to use a boat without any water. They instead use hundreds of cows.
