What's wrong with that?
The age of the animal does not matter. Isotope decay begins when the animal dies. This applies to all living creatures.
Plants absorb natural radioactive substances from the soil.
Plant is eaten. Animal absorbs radioactive substance. Isotopes decay. New ones are added.
Animal or plant dies, no new radioactive isotopes are added. Now the clock is running. The decay rate (amount of isotopes) can be used to determine the age of the carbon.
What's strange is someone goes on holiday to America but shows photos from home. Why do I not see a single detail (pyramids, scriptural symbols, clothing, hairstyle, etc.) from America?
Before you can explain that, the subject of America is off the table.
