According to most ecologists, herbivores should be considered predators because they eat (prey upon) another living organisms, in this case plants.
The following is from Wilson and Bossert (1971, p. 127):
....ecologists define predation in its broadest possible sense: the eating of live organisms, regardless of the identity of the organism. Predation includes the consumption of plants by animals, called herbivores....

Some herbivorous dinosaurs, including ceratopsians and pachycephalosaurs, may have fought others of their species over mates.
