This is not correct. Jews can eat cloven-hoof mammals. However, this is necessary, but insufficient condition for determining a kosher land animal. It must also ruminate or chew its cud. Therefore, the pig which does have a cloven hoof but does not ruminate may not be consumed. Cows, deer, lamb, bison, antelope, goats, and several other animals that have a cloven hoof and ruminate can be kosher (if slaughtered properly).
