Many people's dogs develop diarrhea from benign things like chicken skin or a little too much hamburger. My own dog feasts on cow poop daily, he has an iron stomach, but he's a FARM dog, he's used to such things. And he was vomiting yesterday from a dead mouse he found under a round bale.
In the clinic I've seen some dogs who were really REALLY sick around hunting season having feasted on gut piles. I don't know if it's a case of too much, or the food was too dead, or what, but IME the housedog unaccostomed to huge bacterial loads can get pretty sick eating "found items". If I saw a healthy herbivore (not a possum or coon) hit by a car and I was impoverished I might stop and feed it to my dog, but otherwise I guess I'd pass it up, thinking the trouble might be more than the money saved. OTOH my son has a pal whose father is a game warden, and he routinely butchers roadkill deer for his own use, for his own table. To me, well, I don't know, it just doesn't appeal to me. But I have a freezer full of beef. Maybe I'm just spoiled!
I just think people need to use some sense, that's all.

"I just think people need to use some sense, that's all."

"Recently alive" is a very good gauge, I think, for bacteria as well as rancid fat.

Like Michael with his wheelbarrow, basically catching the guts as they fall out.



PS

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MICHAEL!! !!!
