Sorry, but many animals have man on their diets. From man eating cats to sled dogs that are not tied up and eat a child or elderly person, predators look at the world in terms of caloric value.

Perhaps what you mean is that animals don't make man a regular part of their diet.

Yes, that's what I meant. I didn't mean that NO animal has EVER eaten a human. But we are not a regular part of their diet for a number of reasons. One is that simply put, we don't taste very good. We're not a good source of protein. If they look at the world from a caloric standpoint, then we are going to be towards the bottom of their menus.

...sled dogs that are not tied up and eat a child or elderly person...

EAT them???? Attack, maybe...I find that hard to swallow, if you'll pardon the pun. Has that ever actually happened?

ANimals also attack for territorial reasons, not just caloric ones.
