First of all, that is irrelevant. I was trying to show how there are animals 
we know of that they won't survive for long, and yet, they are not tereifot. 
Furthermore, prohibiting a poisoned animal on account of skanah allows for 
the possibility that if we know the poison to be harmful to a certain animal 
but not to people, to permit the animal anyway in a particular case. I didn't 
check the teshuvot literature on this point, but it makes some sense.
