Carnivore or herbivore? Which animal make better pets?

People tend to favour carnivores as pets because they tend to act as sentries around the homestead. They are more alert and defensive as compared to herbivores. The latter also have to be controlled in order on to run into danger from either predators or humans. They are also less intelligent and more likely to ruin gardens around the homestead. But they also make docile and admirable pets.
