Daily reminder that anything other than Hoppean libertarianism is communism and will result in social and economic degeneracy ultimately leading to a massive societal collapse.
The problem with many species is their special demands for food. Carnivorous species can only eat meat, which is more resource-heavy and much harder to maintain, meaning you can have fewer of them.
Only if you feel the need to artificially restrict our diets to cows, chickens, pigs, and one or two other animals. You can get a much higher feed/meat ratio out of some smaller animals, including insects.
The problem is that you need to raise tons of food for them, which makes it more resource intensive and places a much lower capacity cap on them. Omnivores and Herbivores are better-suited.
@Little Boots I wouldn't say that they should be used as a base, but I would recommend looking at birds as they can continually repair hearing damage throughout their lives. At least some of them can.
