Generally speaking, maybe, but pigs are omnivores (of course, a large portion of humanity considers pork taboo). Poultry will eat bugs and worms if they can (“insectivore” may not be “carnivore,” but it sure ain’t “herbivore” either). And we eat the big fish which eat the little fish…
And, of course, there ARE some cultures which have no problem with eating dogs or cats.
