You have to realize that there are major differences between vampires who drink human blood and those who drink animal blood. Drinking animal blood and refraining from human blood helps vampires to be more humane and less competitive. By drinking animal blood, a vampire has a greeater ability to maintain a "brotherly love" with other vampires. Most vampire covens are two and sometimes up to three vampires. The Cullens are able to see themselves as a family and love each other as family because they refrain from human blood. Aside from the Volturi, the Cullens had the largest coven which consisted of seven. The Volturi (human blood drinkers)  are able to have such a large coven number because Aro has mind controling vampires to keep them together. If not for these mind controling vampires, the Volturi would desintigrate. Drinking human blood causes vampires to be territorial and violent. Myer says the reason that there's not huge amounts of vampires is because they usually kill each other. Jasper is a vegitarian vampire who refrains from human blood. By doing this, Jasper not only has a deep love for his mate, he has also developed a strong family love for the Cullens. With his strong ties to his mate and his adopted family, not even Aro's mind controlling vampires could persuage him to join the Volturi
