Killing animals NEAR campfire drops cooked meat

In our MC Java 1.14 Realm new survival world, we made a campfire. Every animal we killed around our camp died dropping cooked meat, even as far at 15 blocks away from the campfire.
-sheep
-chickens
-cows

We were actually hoping to try out the new cooking mechanics of the campfire, but couldn't get any raw meat to test it!
