None of this has ever worried me much. Have never inspected the insides much except for when I was farming in a TB area. Disposed of a TB pig once that had lesions.
If I ate deer offal (and I don't) I would give the liver a once over and biff it if it looked dodgy but more than likely still keep the meat.
Otherwise I just judge their general health when they are dead and if they are too skinny I boot them over a bank. I can only recount that ever happening a few times.
In NZ, if cooked Im not aware of anything that can harm you anyway?
Its a bit like projectile choice. We worry too much.
