meat-eater
Lion, not giraffe
A meat-eater is a person or animal that eats meat.
The term applies broadly—from carnivorous animals like lions to humans who include meat in their diet.
It often appears in contrast to vegetarians or vegans: I'm a meat-eater, so that restaurant won't work for me.
In casual use, meat-eater can suggest enthusiasm for meat rather than mere consumption.
