Leviticus 11:6: Rabbit meat is unclean, the bible says.
More and more days had passed and I am still curious about everything, from flying insects to man, from people's behavior and addictions, and now, I am under the spell of debating myself, looking for something that will again be fed my human curiosity and mind power awakening. I read an article based on rabbit which I was interested in from the start of the year, the problem is that according to what I read, and testified from what the source is. Bible says that rabbit is not clean for us to consume, they are unclean from Leviticus 11:6.
First of all, I wanted to apologize if you were planning to ask a question about a religious belief I am not the right guy, I am the honest guy that is not a Godly person, or church full attendance, I am sorry for that. So if I cannot explain well what was written in the testament, my apology from this humble beginning.
I must start with a very huge curious bag in my mind when I hop in an article when I was looking for some information about the GI-Tract, or the digestive system of rabbits. I made some research about them to understand more what I am going inside for. I just found out that rabbits are designed not that perfect as like any other animal.
The first is that they cant be burp or vomit things out of what they had been eaten. Unlike any other animals or even humans, if they had ingested some toxic inside the body, the body acted mechanism is that we vomit to lessen the toxin. But for them they were not given that kind of appreciation, instead, their gastro organ in their body will just provide gas that if not treated might result in sudden death.
No filter that my future rabbitry is intended for consumption. That's what I am aiming for from the start, to have a sustainable life and consumed what I know is safe to eat, lessen the food commercially. Price of goods especially meats are not gaining lesser price instead year after year because of supply and demand issues the price is always get up.
Then I come up with the version of the bible related article, stating that rabbit meat is unclean meat. This is actually my first time reading the topic and kind of exciting for that's what like, day and every day there is something new that will come next to my mind, there will be a new product of information after I go back to sleep.
The familiar forbidden that was normalized in is swine, they said it was unclean meat because it chews the cub and it was forbidden. They were playing and eating with their waste that why it was said uncleaned animals. Moreover, the swine industry in many countries had gaining popularity because that food we were grown up and becomes normalized. The rabbit meat industry is also a new venture that gaining its attention among the delicacy.
When it comes to science and when we talked about nutrition. Rabbit is a great substitute when it comes to pork and beef. That's is more normal for people nowadays are looking more on organic, that's why some people embrace the rabbit meats.
Imagine you eat a slice of pork, do you know that from commercial pork from its piglet age the food they must take is commercial feeds until they reach the right and desirable age, while the rabbit is naturally and must be fed with grasses. So in my own I will choice soon the rabbit meat rather pork, especially we don't really know where the meat at the markets comes from.
So does the rabbit easting its cud?.
That's the main issue, but they said yes. 'eating cud' sometimes say eating their waste, which makes them the category of unclean meat. There is also debate that saying there were not, others exchange they were. Because in the wild most of rabbit life are under the hidden ground, and just come out at night to look for foods, they were more active at night, so they said that staying inside the soils where they stay with their waste, no questions some still they chewing it back to there body.
This is quite an interesting and helpful thing for me. Because I am planning to introduce the meat to my family and friends, and some of my friends are religious people that really do not take a glance at pork, also I had Muslim friends. This is also a bride of respect that I should know what I am offering to them.
Well knowing that rabbit meat is classified as unclean meat in the book of life, also help me to understand the market, respect people by not just giving them the food that I knew was good but bad for the eyes of others.
This is interesting stuff and a clever idea that we should all learn and know these pointers, we also become mindful of other people who were following religious beliefs, I never laughed or force people to eat what was forbidden, at some ends point. The food we think was good is poison to others, and what you think is poison is healthy food to others too. That's beginning to respect each and everyone, thanks for reading...
Some are substituting rabbit meat for pork meat. This also prevents the extension of other species like pigs for pork meat and carabaos for beef meat.
