The counterattack strength of most domesticated animals is proposed to be too low to kill a player when the player is cautious enough. When players are not cautious enough and will try to slaughter a cow or pig or sheep in a herd ... things can turn very nasty on him. That's just pretty realistic and effective wrt discourageing mindless grinding.

It seems to me you missed the point, the objective of this proposal. Food decay isn't effective wrt discourageing grinding of passive animals.
