When the dog dies, the rabies disease dies along with it. The only way to get rabies is by being bitten and the animal breaking your skin.
Why the hell would you want to eat your dead dog?!?!?!?!?!

Safety tips when handling & butchering animals with suspected rabies:
The rabies virus is not present in the meat itself, but in the surrounding nervous tissue, as well as in the brain,
spinal cord and the animal's saliva.
Rabies is transmitted only when the virus is introduced into an open wound (bleeding in past 24 hours) or to
mucous membranes (eyes, nose, mouth).
Avoid touching the animal's mouth, brain or spinal cord. Follow safety precautions below:
/ Wear goggles and long rubber or plastic protective gloves while field dressing, skinning, butchering and
processing meat.
/ After butchering, wash hands with soap and water, and wash any contaminated clothing and the work area.
Disinfect gloves and butchering utensils in a solution of one part household bleach to 20 parts water for about
twenty minutes.NYSDOH (10/93)Adapted from: NYSQEC publication Rabies; Hunters Need To Know
/ Wear gloves while preparing meat for cooking and wash your hands with soap when finished. Disinfect
cooking utensils and food preparation area with disinfectant, as above.
/ Cook game meat thoroughly. Heat destroys the rabies virus and other disease organisms that might be
present.
/ Freezing will not destroy the rabies virus. Precautions should be taken while thawing meat.
/ Hanging the deer does not eliminate the risk of rabies.
/ For more detailed instructions, contact your county health department or regional DEC wildlife office.

Why are vaccinations important for pets?
First, you need to specify what vaccine? For example if you are referring for example to Rabies Vaccine, treated with Rabies vaccine well in advance of an encounter with a rabid (or possibly rabid, or rabies carrying) animal renders the dog virtually immune to rabies as long as the vaccinations are kept up to date. If your dog encounters a skunk (which may or may not be rabid, but can carry rabies), or gets into a fight with another dog (which may or may not be rabid) the vaccine effectively eliminates the need to worry whether the dog has become infected by rabies, which would eventually drive the dog to madness, out of character aggression, and then death. Likewise, in many municipalities, if your dog were to bite someone, proof that it has had its rabies vaccinations up to date will prevent the need to kill your dog to find out if it WAS rabid. Generally there are two ways to identify a rabid dog once suspected. 1 - isolate it an watch for it to go mad and die, or 2 - test the brain tissue of the dog, which generally involves decapitation (removal of the dog's head), which in the case of a dog biting someone else, regardless of the circumstances, generally means the dog will be killed and tested, not simply observed without vaccinations.
