The chances of being killed and eaten by a deer are low but not zero.
KarateCanine
Ever see the vid of the deer eating a duckling? Just snatches it up and starts munching.

Vegans like to point out that animals can live off vegetation just fine but in the wild, there are very few strict plant eaters

Butterflies will drink blood, man... Nature is fucking metal.
DaleNethaway
Work in the woods. Thousands of animals. Finding bones is rare. Calcium is hard to find except eating....bones. Nature strips them quick.

Was this done at the Knoxville location?
iquestioneverything
Oh how the turn tables!
tomatoboy
I remember this... It’s a somewhat misleading story. The deer wasn’t eating flesh off a corpse, it had a rib in its mouth long after...
TinkTheTank
Look up deer eats bird on youtube. It's a live bird. Deer eats it.
Nandabun
Video of a horse eating a chick on a farm too.
tomatoboy
Yup. Seen it. Ditto horses and cows.
KootchieKoo
Isn't there a species of deer that sheds their antlers annually but eats them for the calcium? This is basically the same.
yaddiex3
All deer shed their antlers annually. I don't buy the eating part though because you can find antlers lying in the woods.
KootchieKoo
So like 10 & 12 point bucks grow those in just 1 year?? It seems like the woods would be littered w/them if they weren't being eaten then.

Why you think bogus? Corpse farms are a thing - forensic scientists use them to study body decomposition.
33WhiskeyTX
Body farms exist. Putting up trail cams would make sense to identify any animal and then they can conclusively match the marks.
tomatoboy
Did I miss somebody saying something stupid about body farms not realizing it’s a serious forensic study tool? Damn.
tomatoboy
...scavengers had gleaned most of the flesh. It was probably trying to obtain calcium or was just playing with it (deer do okay with shit).
tanebot
Ohhhh so it wasn't eating the corpse's flesh, it was just eating its /bones/. That's okay then.
tomatoboy
*play, not okay. Damn autocarrot.
LespritDeLescalier22
Ohhhhh deer.
Hogwaller
Deer are okay with your typo.

I liked it better the first time. Like don't you worry about deer. Deer do okay with shit.

I saw a deer ? eat a hamburger ? left outside

So err, you just go there and say, 'I have body to donate, I just need some help getting it out the trunk.'
mday8
'I may have bent some things that aren't supposed to bend but I'm sure the deer won't mind'
MrNobodyLivesHere
Deer in Scotland kill rabbits so they can get the salt from their blood.
PoorSucker
Deer likes birds https://youtu.be/2q91dUtDYkU

I know squirrels will scavenge carcasses in the winter. Freaking rats! Ugh!
KPuff

Shade169
many fuzzy wuzzy cute animals are opportunistic carnivores
BmoreDaviano
...a body farm? This is way more interesting than a deer chewing a rib bone.
Orcus424
They did a murder investigation at one on the show Bones.
NowhereMan313
Yeah, they're used to study the decomposition of bodies in various conditions. Used by forensic anthropologists, among others.

This clip gave(gives) me nightmares
TheOnlyPtylerdactyl
When I was young I watched a video of a man feeding live baby chicks to a cow, so yeah nature is indifferent to our discomfort
orbitn
Should you have had supervision on the internet
TheOnlyPtylerdactyl
Absolutely I should have, I was an actual demon
orbitn
Yeah if my parents knew what IRC or newsgroups were they'd have taken the keyboard away from me
papromic
So was the man you were watching.
loosersic
I used to show my kids Disney movies.
OmegaYeti
All animals need calcium.
DubiousFacts
Yeah, and human remains taste great! Why shouldn't the deer have some too?
CaptainThePirate
Some*
UpAloft
Most all animals are opportunistic carnivores. Given the chance most herbivores will eat another living animal.
ChorizoPig
And many large herbivores will opportunistically eat meat. Deer will eat birds, baby rabbits, etc.
pthalio
Cows often eat mice
SoraHjort
I've unfortunately been subjected to way too many videos of horses eating baby chickens.

That's very specific

YoSamiteSam
If a man eats human flesh, he becomes wendigo, a shape shifter who slowly forgets what it means to be a man, and is always hungry.
MilitantHomosexual
So the average human in quarantine?
Dinos91
Salt and protein too. Like horses munching on birds occassionally
sweetlittlebee
I remember watching a documentary about deer on a remote place that feast on birds and small mammals due to the lack of minerals in the soil
AmArschdieRaeuber
Somebody post the gif of a horse voring a chick
AmArschdieRaeuber
nvm found it
Drakknfyre
The gif doesn't convey the true horror of it, not being able to hear the frantic chirping and the sudden stop as the horse bites down.
Mithi
This Chicken McNugget seems a bit undercooked.
AFistfulOfDollHairs
There’s plenty of protein in plants, what you’re thinking of is the tasty blood that all living creatures secretly desire.
BenderRodriguz1010
FoamingToad
Calcium isn't necessarily a component of proteins. CHOPSN, then the radicals.
AFistfulOfDollHairs
I seem to be a Bender magnet which explains the country music. Well either that or the ocean madness is finally setting in.
BenderRodriguz1010
A what magnet?
BenderBendingRrodriguez
Plants only provide about 11 out of the necessary 20 amino acids our bodies need to create protein. The rest are found in meat.
RackhamTheRed
You and I are not herbivores. We don't have dynamic state fermenters in us with bacteria that produce what we need.
RackhamTheRed
And of the amino acids required as building blocks, 9 are essential, the rest can be "made" from these or into one another
sisselrettig
Is it just meat or Will any animal product do? Like eggs or Milk
thorkild91
Yes. But there are vegan sources for all the essential amino acids. It just takes more calculated eating than just eating a steak.
RackhamTheRed
Egg white is by far the best source in terms of bioavailability & composition. But you'd have to eat insane amounts for the required numbers
superkp
FUN FACT: 2 common things provide a "complete nutrition": the first is kind of boring: rice and beans. The other is BEER.
BenderBendingRrodriguez
There's also a third: eggs!
ClericOfTheProsperityGospel
Well, I can't comment on this situation, but many herbivorous animals will eat meat if they get the chance. Say, come across a baby animal.
ntek2
The term you want is opportunistic omnivores. It generally happens when an animal has a deficiency or is very hungry. More common in winter
GreySeasAbound
It's probably how humans started consuming meat as well. Opportunities (cadavers, baby animals) well before being actual hunters.
MrJimmyRustles
Basically: " Yeah, I'm Vegan but how many opportunities do you have to eat a baby, of fuckin' course I ate the baby!.."
SealOnLand
This is EXACTLY my diet. I'm vegetarian though. If I go to japan you can be sure I will eat sea food. Would try exotic animals because YOLO
boblives
Who's got the gif of that horse earing a baby bird?
Hulser
Wait, why can’t you comment? Some kind of legal restriction? You’re in witness protection, aren’t you?
orbitn
Loose lip Louie? That you? We will find you.
xshikamaru21
Probably a vegetarian who got caught snacking on a box of kittens or something?

My rural family explained to me why do they never allow their cats to bear kittens in the barn any more. Explanation involved their cows.
DragonQueen12345
Oh God, do I really want to know?! Or is my imagination sufficient?
stja
Crumchy.
coreunit
Somebody posted a horse eating a baby chick a while back
tanebot
So wait, the old joke about "the original term for 'vegetarian' was 'lousy hunter'" is actually true? O.o
stja
Meat is easily digested, it's plant matter that needs a lot of evolutionary adaptation.
cozynester
Guinea pigs prefer a diet of vegetables and hay. But also their new born children??? Sometimes???
periwinklepanda
Hamsters do too! Have seen it first hand.
Robindino17
A lot of rodents do, we dont know exactly why but stress increases the odds
bluemagister
We actually do know why. Stress == presumed lack of resources or danger. Better to consume them yourself than let a predator have them.
SodomySnake
Can't argue with that logic.
Altanese
This, and also trying to recoup some of the energy in making them, preparing for a new batch in the future. This also applies to a lot of 1/
Altanese
r-selection animals that have to rely on having many weaker offspring.
imemotionallyinarticulate
I think this is common with most rodents. I work with mice and they like to eat their young and sometimes each other.
bluemagister
No offense to you(r job), but if your mice are doing this you're not providing them with a healthy environment. It's a reaction to stress.
imemotionallyinarticulate
They usually eat their first litter and the unsuccessful litters. And they tend to eat each other after the mouse has passed.
imemotionallyinarticulate
So it's usually an opportunity to get more protein compared to the diet they're provided.
runninginthewoods
Maybe it is their job
bluemagister
Ha. Touche. I suppose they could be a scientist monitoring stress reactions in rodents. But, on the off chance they're not...
ClericOfTheProsperityGospel
A fun example you can find many videos of, is horses on farms gobbling up chicks.

“Fun” example lol

There was also a French mare named Lisette that killed and ate an officer. Also the carnivorous Mares of Diomedes were four horses that
HunterRaider
supposedly killed and ate humans. Lord Chamberlain of Bhutan confirmed that the 40 kings horses routinely received a special meal of
HunterRaider
Tiger fat and still feed their horses beef, and yak meat. There was an American gelding in 1958 that routinely hunted and killed and
HunterRaider
even consumed small birds. He also repeatedly attacked humans. He was known as “Freight Train”.

So, how old were you, when you realised you live on a death world?
HunterRaider
Horses will also eat fish. I kept goldfish in a water trough to combat mosquitoes and my mare stood there and
HunterRaider
fished out every one of them and ate it.
DulothX
Probably a vitamin deficiency. Most of the time its just a casual thing, not putting any effort into it.
HunterRaider
Nah, this was deliberate. She had to chew open the fencing we kept across the bottom to prevent birds from getting the fish.
secondgoaround
What a psycho! Lol. We had the same set up but I never witnessed a fish killing by the horses.
HunterRaider
Some horses just like the taste of meat ?♀️ she also loved ham and hot tamales. I assume it stems from when she was a bronco.

Your chances of being killed by a deer are low...but not as low as you think.
