Do you think that i should eat it? will i get rabies? by touching it, will i get it too? can rabies to spread from one person to another?

not all of them were eaten or biten but only some

First off rabies is blood born, secondly you shouldn't eat anything that has been bitten off of if you don't know what bit from it, not because of rabies, there is a chance but that's not the only thing you can get from animals.

you won't get rabies by touching it, you have to be bitten by the animal to get rabies.

People usually get get rabies from the bite of a rabid animal. It is also possible, but quite rare, that people may get rabies if infectious material from a rabid animal, such as saliva, gets directly into their eyes, nose, mouth, or a wound.
In 2001, 49 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico reported 7,437 cases of rabies in animals and no cases in humans to CDC. The total number of reported cases increased by 0.92% from those reported in 2000 (7,369 cases).
