Two guesses:
[list=1][*]The animals achieve homeostasis, where they've developed special resistance to the particular bacterial populations of their own intestinal tracts through years of ass-licking.[*]Their digestive systems are more resistant to ingested fecal coliform bacteria generally, because when you've evolved to eat entire organisms raw, you've evolved to eat these organisms' intestinal contents raw, too.[/list=1]
I'm helping!
ETA: Kevin Smith sucks balls and you should not claim to learn anything of substance from his movies, because it is most likely wrong. Edward Burns also sucks balls and together they have a little club for directors whose first movie received undeserved critical acclaim but which don't stand up to repeat watching, but then proceeded to make movie after movie and felt free to cast themselves in each one. Both shamelessly play to dumbshit audience loyalty (Smith to potheads; Burns to Irish-Americans and New Yorkers) which continues to work because no one has the courage to say they suck because everyone is afraid they will be told "But 'Clerks' was funny" or "But 'Brothers McMullen' was good" even though neither statement is true, which can be proved by enduring them again for the very first time. If PLF were here he would tell me I'm right. (Hi, Flower!)
