Israeli rabbi says giraffe meat, milk are kosher

Jun 6 06:49 AM US/Eastern
An Israeli rabbi has declared giraffe meat and milk to be kosher, although his pronouncement is unlikely to have observant Jews clamouring to consume the exotic products, a daily reported on Friday.
"The giraffe has all the signs of a ritually pure animal, and the milk forms curds, which strengthened that view," the mass-circulation Yediot Aharonot quoted Rabbi Shlomo Mahfoud as saying.

The rabbi based his ruling on a recent finding by researchers from Bar Ilan University who took a milk sample while treating a giraffe at Ramat Gan safari park near Tel Aviv.

They found that the milk forms curds as required under Jewish religious law, a finding confirmed by another research institute, the daily said.

Giraffe meat is also considered ritually pure because the animal has a cloven hoof and chews the cud.

"Indeed, the giraffe is kosher for eating," said Mahfoud, who was present when the researchers made their finding.

Yigal Horowitz, chief veterinary surgeon at the safari park, is not overly worried by the development.

"This doesn't mean that tomorrow we are going to drink giraffe milk or eat soup made from giraffe necks," the paper reported him as saying. "After all, this is an animal in danger of extinction."

Must have cloven hoof and chew the cud?
Fucking Plargarist!
This is my single's add from the City Paper.
No one can say that I am not pure.

I wonder how the rabbi feels about manatee and bald eagle?

Not ruminates (cud chewers)

But isn't the manatee known as Sea Cow?

I may be wrong, but I believe that is why it is worshipped in India.

No dude they are worshipped in Atlantis, the other Hindu nation.

Oh.

I gotta read more. I thought they were still looking for that place.

OK, what the fuck does all that have to do with drinking giraffe milk??

well, I can't speak for others, but I am always looking for investment opportunities. The word is out on giraffe and associated by products. I want to find the "next giraffe" before the media gets it.

What do you think Koahla bears taste like?

Might be good for a cold.

how about kangaroo?

any word on that?

I have to assume that washing down some yummy giraffe burgers with a tall glass of giraffe milk would still be verboten, yes?

Not if done while performing the Havah Nagilah.

You can milk anything with nipples.

All tee'd up, boys...

I don't wish to disappoint Mr. 95, so I believe the punchline he's looking for is:

"Very carefully".

Hook him up to the machine.

Is it possible that milking him would yield a White Russian?
