Nearly any plant eater is. The categorization is outdated and you shouldn't be mad.

iirc a lot of animals we consider herbivorous are really opportunistic omnivores

Deer will MONCH on some bird nests full of eggs and babies. Also on adult birds if they are injured or caught on something.

Fucking deer. Get out of my roses.

I don't know that's the reason they kill humans.

I think they just don't like humans.
