There was a story posted about a person who died of ebola and their body remained in the street in that country over in Africa for a few days, that’s kind of scary stuff. Not only that, did vultures or dogs go after it? That’s kind of morbid but it makes me wonder.

The dogs and the vultures won’t eat infected flesh. Their instincts tell them not to.

Sadly, there are many stories like the one you describe as:

"... a person who died of ebola and their body remained in the street in that country over in Africa for a few days..."

This one was posted today:

‘Not only that, did vultures or dogs go after it? That’s kind of morbid but it makes me wonder.’

I have seen pictures of Liberian dogs devouring dead bodies. Dogs can carry the Ebola virus but are themselves unaffected by it.
