Personally, I would rather herd a sheep or a cow than a bear. My
guess is that food animals are such because they are docile.
Carnivores are rarely docile. Lazy sometimes, like lions, but not
often placid.

I imagine the thinking went something like, "When I try to brand that
animal, will it turn my torso into confetti?"

Tangentially related, I recall reading a SF story (by CJ Cherryh,
maybe?) that featured a race of beings that ate only carnivores that
also ate only carnivores. This was supposed to imply ultimate
superiority on the food chain.
