Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': Herbivorous animals are portrayed as friendly, especially if PredatorsAreMean.
* '''Straight''': The main heroes in "The Adventures of Horace the Horse" are horses and other herbivorous animals, while the main antagonists are [[SavageWolves wolves]] and other predators.
* '''Exaggerated''': [[AlwaysLawfulGood Every single herbivorous species]] is portrayed as an AllLovingHero, and any species that has ever been known to eat meat at all is AlwaysChaoticEvil. [[FridgeLogic Odd, considering horses have occasionally been known to eat small animals.]]
* '''Downplayed''':
** "The Adventures of Horace the Horse" is mostly GreyAndGreyMorality, but for the most part the herbivores tend to be nicer characters than the carnivores.
** Calling them friendly is an overstatement, [[BlackAndGreyMorality but they're certainly nice in comparison to the predators.]]
* '''Justified''': The horses in the work have no reason to be aggressive, such as due to having good owners.
* '''Inverted''':
** XenophobicHerbivore
** "The Adventures of Wally the Wolf" has predators as the heroes and herbivores as the villains.
* '''Subverted''': ???
* '''Double Subverted''': ???
* '''Parodied''': ???
* '''Zig-Zagged''': ???
* '''Averted''': There is nothing unique about the morality of herbivores and carnivores in the work.
* '''Enforced''':
** "How do we [[ViewersAreMorons let the audience know]] which characters are the heroes and villains in a work featuring animals?" "I know! Make the good guys plant-eaters and the bad guys meat-eaters!"
** Can fall under CriticalResearchFailure in some cases - real life herbivores aren't always known for being friendly animals.
* '''Lampshaded''': ???
* '''Invoked''': ???
* '''Exploited''': ???
* '''Defied''': The wolves learn how to be nicer characters.
* '''Discussed''': ???
* '''Conversed''': "I wonder why the [[PredatorsAreMean predators are always the bad guys]]."
