I disagree with once tasting theory. My guard dogs will only eat a deceased animal once it has been opened either by me or by something in nature(buzzards, coyotes, etc). I have one dog that will consume dead newborns and another that will bury them. The removal of the fresh carcasses eliminates other dogs or coyotes from coming into close contact with the herd. I appreciate any dog owner who will humanely dispatch an animal for really bad behavior like killing or always chasing the sheep.
