 Cows do eat meat.
 Don't you recall that they are fed "meat flour"? This was the cause of
 "mad cow disease" in Europe (possibly deer in the US too, as came to
 my mind by the "mad deer" posting on this list last month).
 And is a bull *able* to kill? What about the torrero?
 However, cattle don't have any instinct urge to kill and eat humans,
 like cats have for mice and birds.>>>

What does that have to do with the price of tea in China?  Of coarse cattle
don't have an instinct it kill and eat humans.  Cattle are herbivores.  If
you feed a cow meat you creating a situation that can bring disaster.

>>> Are *you* able to kill and eat (have you tried)?
 If you see a deer in the wildlife, do *you* feel an instinct urging you
 to kill *and* eat it?>>>

No, I don't have that instinct, but that is from training not natural
instinct. I would feel different if I grew up in a hunter/gatherer tribe.
Most hunter/gatherer groups (and me) would rather animals not suffer.
