Why animal blood can't be used for human??

Proteins: You may not know this but all species have proteins on their red blood cells and in the fluid which the blood flows that when not matched up appropriately create variable immune responses. Sometimes this is deadly. Remember you can't even always transfusion blood amongst humans, it has to match up to a significant degree.
