That's pretty much a risk no matter what species a carrion eater eats. It's always possible that the thing that killed your meal is still in the area and that the carrion eater may present a good target. That has nothing to do with whether or not your meal is the same species as you. In fact, after some carrion flesh has been worked over, it would be difficult to tell exactly what species it is.
Remarkably difficult to tell human flesh from pork for example.
