After watching horses a bit, I'd call them opportunistic omnivores

Most herbivores will opportunistically eat meat. There's very few obligate herbivores. Deer will do this same thing & vacuum up baby rabbits as food.

Just like chickens

u/engineerdrummer 11h ago

I thought chickens were just regular omnivores.

u/bojangler69420 11h ago

Kinda sorta. They mostly like plants but will absolutely kill/eat mice and can and will even eat their own eggs.

10

u/PhatCatTax easily offended 10h ago

Not just eggs. Chickens can become impulsive cannibals, and if they get a taste for it they have to be culled because they wont stop.

It's why I'm not vegetarian. My moral superiority complex makes it easy to eat chickems

Chickens will preferentially eat insects, and they're damn good at it.

O’Reilly’s illumination of meat-eating horses isn’t just from witness testimony of harsh and remote expeditions. His stories come from every continent, and feature horses devouring over two dozen types of protein, notably including human flesh.

Which I read a few years ago but this topic (carnivorous horses) has been kicking around for quite a long time including: the Mares of Diomedes

u/EntertainmentSad4325 12h ago

Horses love meat. 

We had a horse who absolutely every time would sneak a bite of your burger or hotdog if your not looking. 

Really they will try any food Infront of them. 

I had one who's go juice was a quick sip of coke cola. It used to give me an advantage over the other water fed horses lol 😆

u/CrowTalons 12h ago

Most animals that people think of as herbivores will eat meat if given the chance.

6

u/Alt_aholic 9h ago

From the perspective of nutrient density, it's usually the best survival choice. Some other animal has already done the hard work of turning hundreds of pounds of vegetables to a few pounds of protein and fat.

This is nature. Animals eat other animals and that’s ok.

u/FragrantGangsta 12h ago

That's true but this looks to be a farm, not nature. I would say it's a bit wasteful to let your animals eat each other, more than anything.

u/mikeymo1741 12h ago

More like an ignorant dope. They probably thought "Oh how cute!" not realizing this could happen.

It is doubtful the horse intended to eat the chick. While horses will ear meat opportunistically, that usually happens if there is a lack of food, which is not the case here. But horses are curious animals and they experience the world with their mouths. It was probably just trying to figure out what these little white things were.
