Rashi's opinion on Genesis 9:4 is only that Gentiles should not drink the blood of a living animal. After the animal is dead, the blood is permitted for Gentiles according to all the Rabbinical opinions.
I got the information about the blood and the soul of an animal from an traditional-Jewish information website
This is what it says about the soul:
"The Torah prohibits consumption of blood. Lev. 7:26-27; Lev. 17:10-14. This is the only dietary law that has a reason specified in Torah: we do not eat blood because the life of the animal (literally, the soul of the animal) is contained in the blood."
Should I not trust this site?
Again thank you for your reply and your guidance.
