the torn animal
Carrion or animal carcass that has been torn or killed by a predator; specifically, flesh or remains of a domesticated animal (such as from a flock or herd) that has been attacked and killed by a wild beast rather than slaughtered by human hands. The term often conveys the notion of animal remains rendered ritually or nutritively unfit for Israelite consumption under biblical food laws. In legal and cultic contexts, denotes an 'unclean' carcass due to the unregulated manner of death (violent predation).
