will animals get sick from eating rotten food?

every once in a while i forget to use some shrimp or chicken and it goes bad. i only buy organic food so i'm not worried about chemicals in the proteins.

if i throw it into a pond or lake just because i dont want to waste it in the garbage and maybe an animal could eat it instead, would they get sick or maybe even die? i dont want to harm animals but i was thinking that if it was too rancid for them then they might just not eat it and leave it for some thing else that could eat it.

like a survival instinct or something build into them.
