| Is it kosher to slaughter ANY animal for food purposes? |
|
Quoted:
No, only cloven-hoofed animals that chew their cud. Nothing with fur and claws. No fish without fins and scales. No raptors, vultures, lizzards, snakes, turtles or frogs. I've eaten bear, and snake and frog....hell I've killed and eaten a Robin before. Me or them......it's them as far as I'm concerned. |

Is it kosher to slaughter ANY animal for food purposes? Yes, any animal is OK to eat. "Kosher" is a Jewish religious standard with pigs being out as well as snakes, lobster etc.... As far as I am concerned, God put the animals on this earth to be food for us and gave us dominion over them. Some taste better than others but meat is meat. Skunk Possum Bobcat Horse Kangaroo Deer Bear Pig Dog Rat Frog any many, many more would do in a pinch if I was hungry and did not know where my next meal was coming from. |

Is it kosher to slaughter ANY animal for food purposes? Its not kosher to slaughter ANY living thing for food. Besides, I happen to like the taste of dirt. With the present governing administration, we will be luck to have that in two years. BTW, when I cut the grass, I save ever single blade for a rainy day. I hate it that I have to cut the stuff cuz its live and living and I feel warm and fuzzy towards it, too. Oh I forgot something here. Grass isnt an animal, is it. Its a living feeling thingie though. I bet it hurts when it gets cut. I heard wheat crying out loud when my dad and I used to combine it. Dam i hated that job. The pain we caused. No I dont believe in slaughtering any living thing. Ill stick with hotdogs and hamburger. EDIT!!!! After reading more of this thread, I have decided that I would also add to my eat list lobster and crab. Ill take jumbo shrimp too, but its a distant 3rd place here. They arent living things, are they? 
EDIT!!! I overlooked keyword, KOSHER |

If you mean "Kosher" as in "Kosher", then no, see above.
If you mean "Kosher" as in slang for acceptable, then my answer is: Whether you're a creationist or an evolutionist, it is without contest that we have the mouth of an Omnivore. We were made to survive on the consumption of animals and plants. Which animals you choose to eat is entirely up to your tolerance, taste and level of desperation. Just avoid polar bear liver, it can kill you.

I've eaten bear, and snake and frog....hell I've killed and eaten a Robin before. Me or them......it's them as far as I'm concerned. Kosher is key. Us Gentiles are free to eat nearly anything although I draw the line at certain rodents (clawed animal). Rabbit is one of my favorite, although not a rodent (lagomorph) but squirrel? I eat them by the dozen. I also limit amphibians to frogs (have a thing about gators as I've seen what they eat) and since frogs eat the same thing as bass, they are cool. Like catfish. Bear? I would try a young black bear but a Grizzly boar? No freaking way. Same thing with feral hogs, 20-150 pound shoat/yearling? Excellent. But never a stinky boar. Nothing better than a yearling buck for table fare. Or doe. Fine eating. And ditto with goats and sheep. I have eaten javelina, not bad when young but not much meat on them. Easy to process, like a 30 pound pig. All sorts of birds, nothing better than a grasshopper-fed Rio Grande Turkey. I process them the old fashioned way, they look a bit different in the roasting pan but brine them with bay leaf, ground pepper and garlic? Wow. All dark meat  Oysters, crayfish, mussels, crab are also good, when properly cooked. |

Is it kosher to slaughter ANY animal for food purposes? Wikipedia - Kashrut . .The laws of kashrut derive from various passages in the Torah, and are numerous and complex, but the key principles are as follows: Only meat from particular species is permissible: . . |
So hypothetical speaking,Worst case scenerio, if we were all in dire needs in this country, "SHTF" and the infrastructure was not transporting food, Everyone was starving. hmmm if i was on the verge of starving or my family was, id probably shoot anything except my dogs. "including liberals" but only if there was no other means of food at the time i had to make a critical dicision

Quoted: Quoted: crab are also good, when properly cooked. You have had improperly cooked crab?  Yep. Them Alaskan Kings/Opelio/Snow crab are all steamed live to kill the enzymes which degrade it. Then it is flash frozen. Never been keen on it. Now Blue Crab, caught live, then thrown in a pot with spices? Good eats. Fresh in crab count most. Shrimp and lobster are a close second in sensitive. I cannot stand frozen shrimp. Fresh or GTFO, otherwise I generate crude oil that not even PEMEX would sell. |
That being said, the "kosher" part doesn't apply to me.

Quoted: Quoted: Yep. Them Alaskan Kings/Opelio/Snow crab are all steamed live to kill the enzymes which degrade it. All of the above mentioned that you have ate and processed by another were killed first, then boiled. That is what I said. I would like to try it live off the boat, cooked dockside. But aside from a trip to Unalaska, that ain't happening. Therefore, I will skip crab. You do know why lobster is kept alive, right? Once they die, the meat starts decomposing, even if kept cold. Most frozen lobster is steamed prior to freezing, this inactivates the enzymes released upon death. And NO ONE can compare fresh to frozen lobster. |

Everything that walks, swims, crawls, flies, or grows out of the dirt is a potential food source. All biological matter is fair game...but is it safe to eat? Case by case basis. "Life, feeds on life, feeds on life, feeds on life. This is necessary"...Tool Any religiously based prohibition against eating any given sort of animal is simply obsolete. Back when those prohibitions got started, people didn't know how to prepare those animals in such a way that you could be assured they were safe to eat. Believe me, if modern food handling techniques and knowledge had been in common usage 2000 years ago, Jews and Arabs would have shrimp, bacon, and ham on their menus, too. Those prohibitions didn't come from God, but from well-meaning "prophets", apostles, disciples, priests, etc. I think God loves bacon as much as any of us.  CJ |

Act 10:10 But he became hungry and was desiring to eat; but while they were making preparations, he fell into a trance;
Act 10:11 and he *saw the sky opened up, and an object like a great sheet coming down, lowered by four corners to the ground, Act 10:12 and there were in it all kinds of four-footed animals and crawling creatures of the earth and birds of the air. Act 10:13 A voice came to him, "Get up, Peter, kill and eat!" Act 10:14 But Peter said, "By no means, Lord, for I have never eaten anything unholy and unclean." Act 10:15 Again a voice came to him a second time, "What God has cleansed, no longer consider unholy." There's an old baptist-preacher-turned-famous-duck-hunter named Phil roberston who used to have these shirts made up that said 'Arise...Kill...Eat'. That sums up my take on it. 
Kosher, smosher!
