When a bear kills a deer, by instinct they eat the rumen or stomach which contains nitrilosides (vitamin B17) from the various types of grasses the deer consumed. It is when they are captive and are not being fed foods that are rich in nitrilosides (vitamin B17) that they develop and are often killed by
