Destroying a population of livestock is a group problem that gives its negative selection on the local tribe.
Not in societies that have a notion of property ownership, and not for herders that travel alone or with a group composed only of genetic relatives. That there would be group selection too does not matter much.

Granted. But in order for that to matter one would need that to be the primary form of herding for a very large amount of human history.
