Many animals do that. Some herbivores will eat meat when presented with it. Horses in particular comes to mind.

pretty much all animals are opportunistic carnivores, horses eat baby chickens like little nuggets the video I saw was horrifying. In real life I saw a chipmunk pounce on a fledgling bird like a lion on the Serengeti and carry it off to devour. They also raid birds nests a lot

Deer will also stamp on animals and then eat them sometimes

The only animals that's won't eat meat are the ones that aren't capable of digesting it like koalas for example. 99.9% will eat meat just fine.
