I'm thinking hunting is now self defense!

Cervids have been known for decades, to eat meat, or at least try to. They are ruminants, but not solely herbivores.
The only difference in this story and all the others like it is the fact that it was photo/video documented.

MEM posted this before. Several years back I believe. I remember the pic of a deer eating a rib.

Short term?

Probably.

A lot of my stuff buddies facebook or email me so I could have seen it before and not remember.

Besides, I can't even remember what I had for dinner last week. I almost sure it was dead though... Almost.

Deer are Cervidae.
Cattle are Bovidae

I think it's been documented that alligators will eat certain fruits if they can get their snouts around it. Berries? Or uncultivated citrus trees? I just remember very clearly that there were news reports, but not the details. In the context of a riparian or riverine environment, the 'gators are literally going after the 'low hanging fruit."
