Comment on Great Tits

A family member had a mule that had to be kept away from the chickens, as the animal would gobble up any chick within reach.

It wasn’t casual, it wasn’t out of hunger.

The vet was horrified when he saw it happen, even after being warned.

It’s an easy source of nutrition. Why wouldn’t you gobble up some chicks?

  Exactly.
  
  I once read an article where a biologist stated that herbivores should be instead considered oportunistic carnivores.

    Oportunistic carnivores? Too lazy to hunt prey you mean.
