Does an instance where the trained animal eats the game nullify its training status for subsequent hunts?

Primary text
The game caught by the animal after an instance where it ate from the previous catch is permissible. The alternate view suggests that eating disqualifies the animal, requiring it to be re-established as trained from the beginning, but the first opinion is preferred because the status of the initial hunt (prior to eating) was held permissible by many scholars under certain interpretations, meaning the initial established conditions should remain valid unless expressly nullified.
