Should animals have to keep Kosher?

[Potoooooooo]

A safari park in Tel Aviv, Israel, has gone kosher for Passover.

And your point is? Animals don't keep kosher. Jews are not permitted to have anything with leavening during Passover. They must consume it, burn it, or sell it to a gentile before Passover begins. I don't know if these animals are carnivores, if they are, they don't get kosher meat. Again, the animals are not keeping Kosher for Passover, the people are....

Interesting video of Orangutans eating Matza bread. . . at least they didn't force the male orangutans to be circumcised :eek:

And we all know that is pure crap. Otherwise, everyone would be Jewish. :Cheeky:

Excellent point, the animals aren't doing anything. . . it's the people working at the zoo who are making sure they keep the Passover & avoid contact with leavened bread. . . which is done in remembrance when the Jews left Egypt in haste and were only able to consume unleavened bread. . .

Well, if we really needed to wear yomicas and eat Kosher food, everyone would be doing it, not just Jews.

Similarly to any other religion. Why do Catholics avoid meat on Fridays during Lent but the Jews don't care? If not eating meat on Friday's was important, everyone would do it, not just Catholic Christians.

Same with Muslims and Hindus.
