Flesh starts to decompose almost immediately due to bacteria that is attracted and thrives on it. This caused putrefaction , breaking down the fibres, connective tissues everything except bones. In the wild a dead animal can be meals for a host of other creatures, other carniverous animals right down to insects etc. All play a part in returning it back into nature. Whereas bread doesn't attract the.same sort treatment ,; starting by going stale, conditions dictate the speed of deterioration, warm, moist places encourages bacteria that colonise and spreads rapidly to form the mould that we associate with our bread going rotten. One way or another Mother Nature has the key to dispose of all forms of natural materials. As it is she who has also set the timings for the speed in which sees to the final disposal of all organic matter, bringing the circle of life to its conclusion.
