You’ll find that most animals don’t care whether humans call them herbivores or carnivores. Animals are opportunistic and will eat whatever is available; deer, cows, and pandas are nominally herbivorous, but will not turn away from a baby bird if it’s sitting right there and they are deficient in calcium, proteins, or other nutrients available in it.
This isn’t just accidentally biting into an animal while grazing, either, herbivores are documented to actively seek out small animals. Not very often, of course, since they are better adapted to digesting plants, but it does happen. Similarly, nominal carnivores will eat plants and grass to deal with digestive issues or micronutrient deficiencies on occasion.
The upshot is, animals don’t give a fuck. They’re not abstaining from meat/plants out of loyalty to the honor of their varna, they just eat what’s easy to eat and satisfies their cravings.
