Because the most horrifying thing I’ve seen but not in person was a deer eating human corpses on a body farm.
A body farm is a scientific study where corpses are left out, exposed to the elements, and the decomposition is measured over time.
If you ever read the news and saw a story about a body being recovered and the officials estimated that they died x months ago, that’s because of body farms…
In person or generally?

Why did I open this comment thread
That’s pretty cool, despite the morbid nature of things.
At least the corpses weren’t alive. Unlike the baby seabirds which get deer biting off their heads and feet.
Deer will pluck baby songbirds right out of the nest if they can get to it and horses will eat baby chicks without a second thought.
Sheep do it as well.
