    Yeah, almost all herbivores are opportunistic cannibals. Cows are known to eat rats found in the hay. Horses sometimes gobble down a chick if they feel like it.

    All these strict rules people believe about biology were prescribed by scholars of old who believed in a perfect creation where everything had its place, but reality is very messy.
