Is using an animal that has to eat basically nonstop to support its body really the best way to make this point?
I’d also point out that many horse feeds contain animal products to supplement protein
A horse will absolutely nom down a passing rat or bird given the chance.
The question remains how well it gets digested.
Good shout. Horses can’t vomit either so. Double the reason they can’t do meat regularly.
Alright, but how do cows make protein, you're telling me grass can be turned into steak? People actually believe this stuff??
Yeah I was gonna say, they aren’t just outside eating the grass off someone’s lawn once in a while. They are endlessly devouring specially made feeds
No, just no. Most horses are not fed grains of any type. They eat grass and hay. Grains aren't really great for them anyways. Performance horses and elderly horses will get supplemental style grains, but a horse needs to basically eat 24/7 to keep their guts properly working.
