  Hmm, does it count if the animal (human, in this case) could be omnivorous, but chooses not to for whatever reason?

    Herbivores can be carnivorous. I’ve seen plenty of videos of horses and cows cromching on baby chickens.

      And carnivores can be herbivorous. Dogs can be vegetarian no problem, and a while back humans solved the synthetic taurine problem. Turns out all animals are omnivores. Herbivores and carnivores are fake.

        synthetic taurine problem for cats.

        For mercy’s sake, don’t start this again please.

      I think you don’t understand the definition then. When herbivores happen to eat some animals, like when cows eat baby chickens, it doesn’t make them carnivores just for doing so. They’re still herbivores

    That’s how I see it. I’m a vegetarian omnivore, if my life depended on it I would eat meat.

      Anybody would do that?

        Yes, I’m saying humans are omnivores and vegetarianism is just a choice.
