What are non kosher animals?

The concept of kosher animals is a religious dietary law in Judaism. Here's a breakdown of non-kosher animals:

Prohibited Animals:

* Mammals: All animals that don't have both split hooves and chew the cud are not kosher. This excludes pigs, horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, etc. Kosher mammals include cows, sheep, goats, and deer.

* Birds: A long list of specific birds are considered non-kosher. This includes birds of prey, scavenger birds, birds with webbed feet, etc. A rabbi or a reliable source on kosher laws will be able to give you a specific list.

* Fish: All fish that don't have fins and scales are not kosher. This includes shellfish, sharks, eels, etc. Kosher fish include salmon, cod, tuna, etc.

* Reptiles, Amphibians, and Insects: All reptiles, amphibians, and insects are non-kosher.

Important Considerations:

* Blood: Even kosher animals cannot be eaten if their blood is not properly drained.

* Shechita: The slaughter of kosher animals must be performed by a trained individual according to specific religious guidelines (shechita).

* Mixing Meat and Dairy: There are specific rules about separating meat and dairy products.

* Kosher Certification: Many food products carry kosher certification, which indicates that they have been prepared according to Jewish dietary laws.

Note: The rules of kashrut (Jewish dietary law) are complex and there are many nuances. If you have specific questions, it's best to consult with a rabbi or a reliable source on kosher laws.
