Why don't wild animals get food poisoning/salmonella from eating raw meat?

if point prove humans not adapted feeding on raw meat, proving obvious. our stomach acids weaker meat eaters , our small intestine long of herbivore. reason eat meat necessity. our ancestors driven african savanna when not win territorial fights piece of real estate in woodlands , forests stronger apes. unlike many ungulates, our stomach cannot digest grass, abundant food in savanna. faced starvation, our ancestor turned meat source of protein , energy. fossil record shows scavenged bone marrow carcasses @ first.

salmonella, many meat eaters, such reptiles, infected salmonella, salmonella species specific, reptilian salmonella unlikely harm human beings. if reptiles, such turtles, bred under filthy conditions, high levels of human specific salmonella, danger us. since many reptiles feed on insects, won't infected salmonella. neither if lost in wilderness , have stay alive eating insects. salmonella outbreaks among humans can occur if vegetables contaminated. salmonella not come meat. outbreak happens when vegetables come contact human feces, breeding ground salmonella. reason many animals not food poisoning because eat fresh meat. since animals have strong immune systems, meat usally free of bacteria, same way meat freshly butchered cow free of bacteria (unless of course comes sick cow). after meat has been carved up, pick bacteria air , surfaces on has been placed. interior, however, still bacteria free. why safe eat partially cooked beef, if surface of beef cooked kill bacteria. of course, animals eat rotten meat. vultures, example, eat meat in advanced state of decay. stomach acid kills many of bacteria, strong immune system helps.

modern humans, though have invented agriculture , no longer dependent on meat, can nevertheless benefit high protein content of meat , high caloric content. because since left woodland 5 million years ago, have evolved large brain, requires lot of energy maintain, , meat has lot of calories maintain it. scientists have suggested our big brain, 3 times size of of chimpanzee, not have evolved if humans did not start eating meat in course of our evolution. therefore should not think of meat eating either evil or unnatural. important part of how become are.

do have stomach acid kill off bacteria , digest meat without having cooked it?
in turn, mean humans aren't naturally built eat meat?
