animal (whole or piece(s)) This is from a LanguaL "ANIMAL BODY OR BODY PART" class. Its subclasses can be used if it is ambiguous what animal is being referred to, and whether the reference is being made to a whole animal or some part of it, including parts of organs. However, see if a more precise term is available under either the "animal carcass" branch or the "piece of animal"branch. LanguaL curation note: Includes carcass meat, organ meat, and nonmeat parts of animals, as well as the whole animal. animal material
