Is every animal whose meat is not eaten considered ritually impure?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : But may Allah preserve you, you said, may Allah preserve you, a ritually impure animal. Is every animal whose meat is not eaten considered ritually impure, O Shaykh?

The Shaykh : Yes, everything whose meat is not eaten is ritually impure if it dies. As for while it is alive, there is a distinction. The cat and its like are pure, except for its urine, its excrement, and its blood as well. As for the predatory animals that do not roam around us and frequently visit us, they are ritually impure.
