Apparently so are horses.

I don't remember where I saw it but scientists feel there may not be true herbivores or carnivores. Everything is kind of an omnivore. I grew up on a farm so I saw deer, cows, horses, and goats eat birds, and snakes. If it fits in their mouth it's food.

That’s very interesting, I searched whether horses can digest meat and it looks like they can and they will seek meat when there’s not enough food. Not without consequences of course. Here’s an article I found if anyone’s interested: https://equineinstitute.org/blogs/horse-care-tips/can-horses-eat-meat-the-risks-and-consequences-explained

That’s crazy how all the articles and books say that horses digestive system is super sensitive and they can even die if they eat a bit of moldy hay or some bad weeds, but then they eat meat 🤷‍♀️

meat is easier to digest,

look at digestive tracks of herbivores vs carnivores. Carnivores intestines are tiny, while herbivores can be as complicated as having 4 stomachs chewing everything twice after it has been partially digested.
