Generally because it’s softer, skeletally wider and easier access to the internal organs, which are more nutritious than the muscle meat.

I think some predators start from
the balls too, because of the easy access to the organs from there. Which sucks because the prey is alive during this.

B/c anus is basically a soft opening. Even armored animals have a butthole, y’know?

Just to give some perspective, we (humans) also have a clear preference for the back half of animals compared to the front.
You are basically asking why you start eating pork from the ham.

Because the other end has teeth and horns and, up until very recently, could be dangerous. Better to give it the skip and work on the safer end for the time being.
