Why do other mammals not get food poisoning from eating raw meats yet humans do?

Humans are physiologically between carnivores and herbivores. Our digestive system is about 5-6x our body length. Carnivores generally have much shorter digestive systems, maybe 1-3 times body length, This means food is in their bodies for a shorter time, giving bacteria less time to produce toxins. Carnivores also tend to have much stronger stomach acid (dog stomach acid is about 10x stronger than human) which means fewer bacteria survive digestion.
