So in your book, its OK that toddlers in Venezuela eat rotten and poisonous foods out of garbage tips? As long as no animals are butchered behind closed doors or otherwise?

I can assure you that no cows or dogs were harmed when kids ate the very poisonous bitter yuca that killed them, in the story below.
