What are the unclean meats?

According to various religious texts and dietary restrictions, the following animals or their meat are considered unclean for consumption in certain religious traditions:

1. Judaism:

* Mammals: Swine (pork), rabbits, camels, rock badgers, hyraxes, hares, and anything else that lacks both split hooves and chewing cud (Leviticus 11:1-8, 26-27, Deuteronomy 14:3-8).

2. Islam:

* Mammals: Swine (pork) and anything that dies of itself, is killed by strangulation, by a violent blow, by a fall, by the goring of horns, or by being mauled by a wild beast (Qur'an 5:3).

* Birds: Birds of prey, such as eagles, hawks, and vultures (Qur'an 5:3).

3. Hinduism:

* Mammals: Cows and other bovine animals like oxen and bulls, as they are considered sacred and venerated in Hinduism.

* Meat Consumption: Some traditions within Hinduism advocate for a lacto-vegetarian diet, while others may consume other types of meat besides beef. The specific dietary guidelines vary among different Hindu communities and sects.

4. Rastafarianism:

* Meat Consumption: Rastafarian dietary restrictions include pork and certain types of seafood (such as shellfish) due to their symbolic associations and health considerations. Rastafarians often follow the Ital diet, which emphasizes fresh, natural, and organic plant-based foods.

It's important to note that these restrictions are specific to certain religious traditions, and different sects or branches within each religion may have varying interpretations of what constitutes unclean meats. It is recommended to consult religious scriptures or seek guidance from religious authorities for specific details regarding dietary guidelines. Additionally, individual dietary preferences and cultural traditions can further shape meat consumption practices beyond religious restrictions.
