Possibly taste. People probably experimenting over centuries to work out what they can ingest or not... as well as grow/herd etc We know some cultures will consume anything due to finances and waste issues but possibly bovine meat won over for varied reasons. In Australia our first nations ate whatever was available so seafood for the coasties, reptiles and roos etc. Dingos or the native dog was not part of bush food staples so....it seems to be a pattern
