      Found on the internet:


      "Apparently yes, though in both reported patients, transmission was presumed through handling and eating infected brain matter.


      There was also prophylaxis applied to a group who drank unpasteurized milk from an infected cow. In that case, no actual transmission was observed.


      If you follow good protection measures when preparing the animal (wear gloves and a mask, clean surfaces before and after with bleach, etc.) and cook at appropriate temperatures, any rabies virus particles present should be inactivated." http://www.instructables.com/answers/Can-you-get-rabies-from-eating-the-meat-of-a-rabid/
