The animals cared for by Abel were already domesticated and later, when plants had degenerated into thorns & thistles and death came into world which includes being eaten, placid creatures such as hyaenas and scorpions became thorns & thistles themselves. Stinging. Biting. Eating one another raw. Many humans became savage, rampant, unrestrained. "Woo woo woo!" they shouted running around shiny. Swivelling their eyeballs at anything considering grass skirts as a future option. They were probably shiny themselves. What a horrid scene!
Jesus refers to His elect (us) as sheep. We have been spared the degeneration into savagery as though we are domesticated, just like those animals so many years ago.
