I wouldn’t personally choose to use that as an argument. People have done the same thing to argue why sex outside of marriage is immoral, and it is not a good argument to rely on. The risk of disease can easily be overcome with a little bit of care and knowledge, even for diseases that, unlike with animal consumption, wouldn’t face a barrier of transmitting from species to species.

The closer a species is to being human, the more readily infectious disease can be spread. When you are referring to the same species, disease will pass right through. Example: you don’t get kuru from eating fish.
