Two minuscule rants this time.
Firstly, this relates to the inane ability of humans to class wild animals by the wrong taxonomic diet. First and foremost, wild animals are NOT vegetarians. Never have been, never will be. The word "Vegetarian" is a definition prescribed to the class of human whom abstains from meat; the flesh of an animal. This includes chicken and fish for all you pseudo vegetarians out there.
Even the highly acclaimed Sir David Attenborough, a renowned wildlife documentary narrator has fallen into this sordid trap of attributing human classifications to animals. The said animal he mistakenly claimed to be "vegetarian" was herbivorous; a REAL classification for animal eating habits within the wild that include plant life in the diet and plant life only. Hell, he could've taken it a step further and gone for a specific classification for this particular animal; a frugivore, as it lived on the nuts (yes, nuts are a fruit) of some sort of plant.
As it stands, the following classifications are welcomed: Frugivore, Herbivore, Carnivore, Omnivore, Piscivore, Insectivore, and so on. Vegetarian is NOT welcomed.
It's like the world just forgot basic science lessons from their younger years. Seriously...being learned is not a bad thing!

Onto my next rant...
Omnivores, you are not carnivores, so stop claiming you are! The human body is, for the most part, incapable of surviving on a carnivorous diet alone. So stop talking nonsense and admit to your true eating habits !
