I saw that phrase and thought it was pretty weird. Hunting wild animals for food is not some fringe thing that happens in "other places" I've eaten tons of fish, duck, deer, elk, etc. that were all "wild animals".

I think people think of Carnivorous animals, when then they think of wild animals.

Simply put, you catch fewer(near 0) infections eating plants. Even more so for animals in the wild.

Absolutely agree, but poison doesn't exactly spread like an infection. Plus I guess most herbivorous animals by now do have a fair bit of intuition what to eat and what not to.
