Mine did. They were mostly chickens, but I would imagine that he ate turkeys, perhaps ducks, and maybe even squab.
German Eszett is ß, while Greek Beta is β. Their glyphs may look superficially similar but they are not the same letter. German Eszett does not have a tail and does not have an uppercase form and it originates as the merging of the letters ſ (long s) and ʒ (tailed z), representing the sound for "voiceless alveolar fricative" (the "s" sound). Greek Beta is the lowercase form of the letter B, representing the sound for "voiced bilabial plosive" (the "b" sound) or the "voiced labiodental fricative" (the "v" sound).
Man würde ''Fressen'' mit Tiere benutzen, zum Beispiel:
• Der Hund frisst das Fleisch.
• Die Pferde fressen Äpfel.
Auf der anderen Seite, würde man ''Essen'' benutzen wenn man über Menschen spricht, zum Beispiel:
• Der Arzt isst keinen Apfel.
• Die Eltern essen keine Orangen.
Ich hoffe diese Erklärung hilft...
