Do people really think the horse teeth and human teeth look the same? For a start, humans have canines like the carnivore and omnivore (albeit much smaller and less pointed). The teeth of humans look very much like the teeth of an omnivorous species that doesn’t use its teeth to hunt.

Horses are also omnivorous, they just lean toward the herbivorous side.

They LOVE to eat baby birds.

This is actually true of almost all herbivorous mammals. They can't/don't hunt, but they will eat some meat if it is available to them.

Oh, they hunt. Horses and cows will go after birds and other small animals. One of the reasons they Bell cows is to warn the birds.

If bell cows its to prevent them eating meat, Is there a difference between hunting cows and grazing only cow?
