No stretch: Giraffe’s milk kosher
(JTA) n Israeli rabbis have declared giraffe’s milk kosher.
A team of rabbis and Bar-Ilan University scientists have deemed giraffe’s milk fit to join the kosher menu, Yediot Achronot reported. Giraffes chew their cud and have cloven hooves, which qualifies them as kosher under biblical law. But attempts to breed them for meat were abandoned long ago, because no one knew for sure where on the animal’s long neck the butcher’s knife should land according to Jewish law. But, according to the experts cited by Yediot, giraffe’s milk is kosher for consumption because technically it is a kosher animal.
