Like, folks generally raise/d pigs, goats, sheep, and cattle for the purposes of eating them (and/or raising them for dairy and wool, etc). But dogs and horses are/were generally valued more for things other than as sources of food.

Tbh tho all the major livestock animals aside from maybe pigs were more valuable alive than dead, as they could keep producing milk, wool, and so on, and were only slaughtered for special occasions. So pre-modern folks ate way less meat than we’re used to.
