    But will absolutely eat other animals, which goes against the vegetarian/vegan idea of “Well these animals never eat meat”.

    They sure as fuck do. It’s called an opportunistic carnivore. If you as a human base your entire diet on imitating the majority of ‘herbivores’, then you better be eating meat several times a year.

      I literally never said I was vegan or vegetarian. I literally said I’d eat any carnivore lol. Why are you freaking out.

      Deer and cows are opportunistic carnivore but it’s not a major source of nutrients like it is for other animals and they generally don’t choose to unless there’s and issue.

      It’s not like a academic resource but it’s not like deer are out here hunting down bunnies bro.

      How is it vegan / Vegetarian to go “I’m only going to eat predator species”

      Fish, birds, rodents etc do eat insects and other animals as major parts of their diets.
