During the antemortem inspection, animals that are non-ambulatory are assessed to ensure their fitness for slaughter. If an animal is unable to walk or move adequately (non-ambulatory), it raises significant concerns regarding its health and welfare. Such animals are often deemed unfit for human consumption because they may be experiencing severe health issues that could endanger food safety and animal welfare standards.

While there might be occasional conditions where certain non-ambulatory animals could be considered for slaughter depending on specific circumstances, the general guideline in animal welfare and food safety regulations is to condemn them during postmortem inspection. This approach is taken to mitigate the risk of disease transmission and ensure that only healthy meat products are supplied to consumers.

The other choices suggest scenarios where non-ambulatory animals might still be permitted for slaughter or consumption, which contradicts established guidelines on animal welfare and public health.
