ELI5: Does butchered meat from a slaughtered animal go through normal death processes like rigor mortis? Is it different for fresh slaughtered butchered meat vs. meat that has been left on carcass for a few days (like to bleed out?)

Rigor mortis occurs in chickens, making it important to pluck and process them immediately after slaughter, as chicken does not benefit from aging.

Game birds can be hung until rigor passes, enhancing the flavor and making them easier to dry pluck.
