I think it's more of a disease problem. The more closely related your food is, the more likely it is to have the same sort of bacteria and virus you have. So they can more easily travel from one to another.
BSE has been mentioned - it likely wouldn't have happened if those poor animals hadn't been forced to be cannibals.
Also, the sheer genius of feeding meat-based products to a herbivore is to blame as well. Whoever had that idea should be flogged.
