Midrash for Chullin 70:43
מאי לאו הא דם שחיטה מכשיר
with regard to the blood of a slaughtered animal, and it would have been self-evident with regard to the blood from a wound! - It was necessary for him to state his view with regard to the blood from a wound, for I might have argued: What difference can there be [with regard to the blood] whether the animal was slain completely or partially?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The law should be the same with regard to the blood whether it comes from an animal completely slain, i.e., dead, or partially slain, i.e., wounded.');"><sup>15</sup></span>
Sifrei Devarim
"On the earth shall you spill it as water": Just as it is permitted to derive benefit from water, it is permitted to derive benefit from blood — Just as water renders seed susceptible (of incurring tumah), so, blood. Just as water need not be covered, so blood (that of a disqualified offering which has been slaughtered) need not be covered.
