It's fairly simple. Any animal that eats plants is a herbivore. as humans, we are omnivores as we eat both plants and animals. Plants store their energy as starch, or amylose. This is a very long molecule that takes a long time to break down. Therefore, in the herb/omnivore's saliva is an enzyme called amylase. This starts to break down starch molecules in plant matter in the mouth.
On the other hand, carnivores eat meat- predominantly proteins. Protein will be digested in the stomach and small intestine once the stomach acid and protease enzymes break down there molecules. As meat doesn't contain starch, starting digestion in the mouth would be pointless.

How is hydrochloric acid so dangerous because you have in it your stomach and you don't die?
Your stomach has a mucous lining which protects the stomach tissues from the acid. The acid is still dangerous;

- After exiting the stomach through the pyloric sphincter, the acid is neutralised by alkaline bile.
One other factor is human stomach acid is usually diluted by the things dissolved into it. Hydrochloric acid becomes less dangerous when diluted, but much more dangerous when concentrated.
