Carcass
A carcass refers to the dead body of an animal. It can apply to animals that have died naturally, been hunted, or slaughtered for purposes such as food, study, or other uses.
What Is It?
Some dog owners and raw feeding advocates use animal carcasses (or parts like bones, organs, and meat) as part of a biologically appropriate diet. This mimics the natural diet of wild canines.
Additional info?
The term was originally used to refer to animals slaughtered for food, but culinary definitions have now broadened it to include fish and shellfish.
