If the requirements for kosher food are for animals to have split hooves and to chew their cud would a pig that chewed its cud be considered kosher?

Answer 1No. The rules are not in place for the individual animal, but apply to the species as a whole.Answer 2That is actually a question worthy of a detailed answer. We know this because such an occurrence actually came to pass. In Brazil, about a decade ago, there was a pig born with a certain genetic abnormality that required it to chew its cud and therefore fall within the kosher requirements. Rabbis from all over the world convened to discuss whether or not this pig could be considered kosher. They ultimately decided that this pig met the qualifications to be kosher, but should still not be deemed kosher. The fear was that the consumption of this pig would confuse other Jews and non-Jews into believing that pork in general is consumable (which it is not) because the appearance of this pig and its meat is no different than any other pig and its meat.


If cows have cloven hoofs how can Jews eat beef?

Because the law says if they have a cloven hoof AND chew the cud (ruminate) they are permitted to eat it. If they have only one of those traits then they aren't permitted to eat it. A pig has a cloven hoof but doesn't chew the cud!


Why are goats sheep and deer kosher?

Goats, Sheep and Deer are all kosher because they contain the two parameters required by the Torah. Like cows, they all chew their cud and have split hooves. Many animals contain one of these requirements, which is not sufficient. Such as the pig which ONLY has split hooves.


Why is pig considered the most unkosher of meats?

"There are two signs that identify a kosher species of animal. 1) It has split hooves, and 2) it chews its cud (i.e. it regurgitates its food and chews it over a second time.) The first sign is easy to spot - just look at the hooves. But the second is not so apparent. You have to study the animal's digestive system to know if it chews its cud. A cow is an example of an animal that fulfils both requirements, and is thus kosher. A horse is not kosher because it fulfils neither. There is only one animal in existence that seems kosher because it has split hooves, but is really not kosher because it doesn't chew its cud -- the pig." Source: www.chabad.org

Why is your guinea pig drinking so much water?

If you have a water bottle and it seems to always chew on it, it may not be drinking. It may be just chewing. Guinea pig teeth do not stop growing. They need something to chew on to wear the teeth down. Your pig may have picked the water bottle to chew on.Put some wooden toys in the cage for it to chew on instead.


What do guinea pigs at 10 weeks old eat?

They eat the regular guinea pig diet. Guinea pig pellets, timothy hay, water, chew treats, and get them a chew block or salt chew also to help wear their teeth down.
