The Arctic Fox Research Center in Iceland put cameras in some bird colonies to see if foxes were stealing eggs/chicks
and turns out the foxes were UNJUSTLY ACCUSED
the culprits were horses
HEY THIS IS BAD
My grandfather grew up on a farm in Kansas during the Dust Bowl. He and his brother shared a horse named Patches, which they rode to school each day. Despite being poor as shit and not having quite enough to feed their animals, his family noticed that this horse looked great. His coat was unusually glossy and beautiful all of a sudden - he looked healthier than they did.
The mystery was solved when my grandfather went into the chicken coop to collect eggs, and saw Patches lifting the window cover, pushing his muzzle underneath the hens, and eating the eggs right out of their nests.
Horses have been known to also eat meat.

1) The BBC filmed horses eating fish on a beach of an English Island.
2) In Iceland pastured horses are provided, salted fish as a protein and mineral/salt supplement.
3) Horses have been known to consume raw meat and blood willingly in Arabia, New Zealand, and United States.
4) Lord Chamberlain of Bhutan confirmed that the 40 kings horses routinely received a special meal of Tiger fat and still feed their horses beef, and yak meat.
5) There was an American gelding in 1958 that routinely hunted and killed and even consumed small birds. He also repeatedly attacked humans. He was known as “Freight Train”.
6) Lisette a French mare, killed and consumed a Russian Officer during the Napoleonic Campaign.
Horses are now literally the most terrifying shit what the f u c k
Horses are swole, they need their protein:0
Many herbivores, if given a chance, will quite happily supplement their diets with meat. Deer are the most notorious culprits, but horses, cows, lorikeets, antelope, sheep, etc are all known to nom non-vegetables. It’s nutritionally easy and can make up for deficits, but…it also tastes good as animals that are not lacking will still chase down and eat other critters.
