Dead animals do not have smell. The HUGE set of bacteria, mushrooms and
other in their blood & intestine does develops the smells. (without a
live regulation anymore, it's a great war in there!)

Given the molecular reactions involved, most produced compounds from
animal are heavy weight sulfur/nitro/iron/salt... highly reactive with
your smelling sensors.

With a plant, most compound are a lot of carbon and a few nitro, barely
noticeable, for us!
