Hi,

In fact, I have often observed how steers first carefully brushed an ant
or other small animals off the grass with their hooves because they want
their grass to be strictly vegan.

However, now the bomb drops.

I only read the article from "The Spiegel" (I did not read the Spiegel
Wiki and did not read the Tierwelt article). In Germany we call Der
Spiegel "yellow press for academics" ("Bildzeitung für Akademiker"). In
the 80s the headline of a Spiegel I bought was "Hetzt Geißler wie
Göbbels" ("Is Geißler rabble-rousing like Göbbels did?") or very
similar, showing two photos on the cover, one of German 80s CDU
politician Geißel and another of Nazi criminal Göbbels confusingly
similar in appearance. I still thought it was funny back then, but
actually it's bad journalism. Apart from its often very embarrassingly
lurid opinion-making, Der Spiegel is generally regarded as a fairly
reliable source in Germany.

IOW that Der Spiegel is writing about a cow eating chickens is only
intended to encourage simple minds to buy the magazine, but it will very
likely be the truth:

Only the Wiki is in English, for anything else a translation-bot might
help.
