I was told long ago, not to eat the meat where the body was hit.

The most dangerous thing in the market is the produce. It’s really hard to hurt yourself with meat. I’m more concerned about the aesthetic sensitivities of my guests than I am about an otherwise healthy dead animal being safe to eat.
Don’t eat sick animals. There’s a story about country folk for whom squirrel brains were a delicacy. The whole family would bring their squirrel brains to the family dinner to give to the patriarch. Turns out that many of those squirrels were road kill, and they were road kill because they had a brain disease like Mad Cow that made the squirrels run in circles on the road until they got hit. Not a good outcome for the patriarch.
