I just saw the comm this was in so I'm not gonna share my opinions on obligate carnivores here, but that makes sense if you're trying to have a deer and a shark be friends or something

There's no such thing as obligate carnivore. There's no magic nutrients inside animals that can't be synthesized using modern technology.

Most carnivores just need taurine, and maybe a few other enzymes. We mastered making those in the 90s once cats started getting sick from people feeding their cats only certain body parts of other animals.

Maybe that can be said for pets, but certainly not wild animals as they couldn't access the lab mixed nutrients they need. As such, Great whites are, they are not adapted to plant diets at all

I'm sure they could be if anyone put any time into it But as of yet, yes, all sharks eat others. Maybe someday in the future we'll figure out a way to end suffering in the wild.

Well since we're sharing opinions, I think wild animals should live as they are evolved with the idealized minimum of human influence on their lives.
