What Animals Can I Eat?

Fish must have scales and fins. That excludes shellfish, octopi, squid, catfish, jellyfish, sea mammals, sharks, amphibians (including frogs). Basically, any animal that carry their home on their backs is a no-no. Scavengers and bottom feeders are also forbitten.

Other acceptable animals are cattle, deer, bison, goats, sheep, fish, and poultry. Chickens, believe it or not, are clean species. Turkeys, ducks, and geese are all clean species, while crows and ostriches are not. Birds who have cruel habits use their feet and claws for eating and tearing their food and are forbitten. Birds who pick up their food with their beaks are considered "clean." Most of the time, the clean animals are the animals that predators pursue.

Horses are unclean, dogs, cats, rabbits, bats, reptiles, hippos, rhinos, camels, llama, bears, monkeys, all insects except for certain grasshoppers, kangaroos, marsupials, and rodents are unclean.
