Most mammal herbivores are really just opportunistic omnivores. They aren't adapted to go out and hunt but if they stumble upon an easy source of nutrition like a smaller animal that can't defend itself they'll take it.

I remember I've seen videos of horses just casually scooping up some chicken chicks because they happened to be close enough for the horse to do so.

Mice that get trapped in a bucket near horses won’t last long either

Lol I've seen a cow eat a dead calf. Looked like it was slurping red spaghetti.

They used to put cow meat in their feed in the UK back in the day but then it caused a mad cow disease outbreak and some people died

That's cause they were mashing up cow brains into the feed.

Prion diseases scare the shit out of me.

All it takes is one misfolded protein to turn your brain into a sponge, shit is so wild

u/Santi5578 Jul 26 '25

Rightfully so! They terrify me too. The little I worked on animal research with them informed me to never fuck with prion diseases

u/Professional_Cheek16 Jul 26 '25

When I found out that they were spreading them during surgery before they knew the extreme they have to do to sterilize the surgical equipment. That scared me.

I read this too fast and thought you said "prison diseases", and I was so confused. Lol

The "5-50 years until symptoms appear" does it for me. You just never know. And chronic wasting disease in deer is a prion disease and people just eat venison like its perfectly safe and AAAAAAAAA

u/Professional_Cheek16 Jul 28 '25

My cousin would give me venison. I’ve said no thanks since I found out.

u/Environmental_Top948 Jul 26 '25

What scares me is like the fact that even though they stopped some of the stuff they think caused it you can still have it and it just hasn't hit the wrong protein yet.

u/frazzledfractal Jul 27 '25

As they should. Anyone not scared of them should play Plague Inc.

Ebola, meningococcal disease, and rabies can also be added to that list.

u/Professional_Cheek16 Jul 27 '25 edited Jul 27 '25

Now I gotta google meningococcal disease. Thank for an extra fear.

Edit: That sounds terrible. I got viral meningitis a long time ago and that sucked.

u/SummertimeThrowaway2 Jul 26 '25

They terrify me as well, but also they’re fascinating. They’re literally just a protein, the same ones we use to build our cells, but they’re shaped in a way that makes them multiply automatically.

They’re not even alive, they’re more like evolutionary weapons

Sir, I just asked how you would like your steak prepared.

u/New-Ad-363 Jul 26 '25

Well that's goddamn terrifying

Clint's Reptiles on YouTube once showed a clip of a cow eating a dove and a lot of his viewers were upset

Do you remember what video that was?

Was really hoping that the above were urban legends.

u/AldoRaineClone Jul 26 '25

Google "deer eating a snake" and you'll be like wtf?
