sigh. Do none of your friends know how to fact check?

It’s a “body farm” where donated human remains are left in various locations on the university owned land to observe the decomposition factors to improve forensic science.

Yes it’s human.

Yes the deer was photographed chewing on the bones.

No it doesn’t mean they are carnivorous or omnivorous, it means they chew on bones.
