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.

Wait until this motherfucker learns about sauropods.

Enlighten me? I am today's lucky 1 in 10000!

Sauropods are the giant long necked dinosaurs, some of which could grow up to 80 tonnes, and ate a purely plant diet.

Horses happily eat meat when given the opportunity. Young chickens have found this out the hard way.

So many people have been indoctrinated that protein = meat and refuse to believe that plants have enough protein. I've just heard that argument so much, that if someone gave up meat where else would they get their protein? The carnist propaganda goes deep

Sad that this is the level of miseducation we have in our society

Oh yes, i know a lot of these people. "I need to eat meat for my protein intake."

You're overweight and work in an office, you really need these protes brother.

Look guys, not looking for a fight here, but maybe just don't tell the people who are already in somewhat of a war with vegans to go and eat literal grass πŸ˜
