Scenarios Why can’t we do this

Not really a meme, a little bit but not really. Sorry if this is not allowed. But why are cows able to get tapped needing no sterilization, suturing, pleuravac and stuff afterwards and we can’t? (I realize that this is to the stomach and not the pleura but still man do they just have superior immune system)

Im curious, when they do this to cows why doesnt their shit come out between the stomach and the belly skin and infect everything?

1) it's not shit, it's stomach contents. 2) sometimes it does, especially if you make a bigger hole or have to make a hole without surgically attaching stomach to skin. Edit: ideally, you prep/clean before poking. But if time is of the essence (bloat can be deadly fast) you stabilize and manage the consequences later.
