Biologically speaking there is no difference between my muscle tissue and my cat's. It's composed of the same stuff. This is one of the reasons why meat has traditionally been a part of the human diet. It contains all the components needed to build and maintain human muscle tissue.

If we are talking about mammals, there is not much difference.(red meat)
,chicken and other poultry(white meat) are a slightly different protein.
Fish and shellfish proteins are a little more different.
Essentially if a group of people have lunch and one has a chicken sandwich, one has a fish sandwich, one has a cheese burger, one has a peanut butter sandwich, another has an egg sandwich, each digests the proteins into amino acids and later the amino acids are put back together in the human to make human muscles from the amino acids from the digested proteins. There are 23 amino acids, 8 are essential because we can not make them. We need to eat them every day.

They are the same. Humans are animals.

There really isn't much of any difference.
