ELI5: why animals can eat each other raw easily, but if we humans do the same, we get into trouble?(as in poisoning, death, viruses etc)

There are a lot of connected reasons people and other animals do what they do.

Other animals literally cannot cook their food. So they don't really have the choice. And they absolutely do get parasites and viruses from their meals.

Once humans figured it out, our guts got used to cooked meat. Even then, humans can still eat raw meat and be perfectly fine. But most people don't need to do that.

But in addition to that, modern meat farming and processing introduces some different disease vectors that aren't really present in wild hunted animals, because wild cows and chickens didn't hang out in enclosed spaces.
