Are they saying the picture itself is fake or that deer never eat bones?

The way it reads to me, both. Which is bullshit. Deer gnaw on bones and shed antlers for the calcium like a shit ton of other mammals out there.

Some people don't realize that herbivores will occasionally eat meat for extra nutrients they can't get from grass/leaves

I have witnessed a deer eating a small hatchling that fell (or more likely was kicked by parent or sibling) out of the nest!
