and the sounder view is that whenever the animal is slaughtered and the red blood that normally issues from a legally slaughtered animal flows, that blood is not the blood of a carcass; therefore the meat is lawful, even if the animal shows no post-slaughter movement—this being, in the judgement of most scholars, the stronger of the two opinions.
