Deuteronomy 15:22

20 Each year you and your household are to eat it before the LORD your God in the place the LORD will choose.

21 But if an animal has a defect, is lame or blind, or has any serious flaw, you must not sacrifice it to the LORD your God.

Eat it within your gates; both the ceremonially unclean and clean may eat it as they would a gazelle or a deer.

23 But you must not eat the blood; pour it on the ground like water.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
