A vulture does not hunt its food, for it is a scavenger. It finds dead things, For instance animals that get hit by cars, like deer. They do not like them freshly killed, but laying out for a day or two. If it's been out that long, it is full of bacteria.
So the vulture doesn't get infected when standing on the carcus, when it "eliminates its waste" (poops) it lets the "stuff" glide down its legs, making something similar to a shell. Then it cannot get infected.
