Yes, I'd wear gloves when on any site with "gloopy" animal remains, especially skins/fur. The spores get into sores or cuts on the skin in 95% of cases, only 5% are air borne (I've just looked it up). The warfare threat would be from anthrax spores spread by aerosol (somehow!). The latest outbreak was a new type as it was directly injected - the anthrax had got into a supply of heroin somehow. The source of that outbreak has not been found.
