ELI5; Why does eating Spoiled or undercooked meat effect humans different than it does other animals

Why does eating Spoiled or undercooked meat effect humans different than it does other animals. We frequently see lions and other carnivores eating rotten food but they don't get sick.

It doesn't. Just because you see a lion doesn't mean it doesn't have a tapeworm. We just don't want *any* humans to have tapeworms, so we cook the meat. Obligate carnivores and scavengers do have some adaptations that make it better, like extra-acidic stomachs like in a vulture, but in general, they'll still get parasites.

The flip side of this is that it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to eat raw meat for us, if it was super fresh. But most meats you buy are not an hour out from butchering, so it's not that fresh.
