> MORE interestingly, though Judaism does not seek to convert other TO Judaism, we strive to teach all of mankind the seven laws given to Noah, culminating in his exit from the ark. One of which is kindness to animals. Even that has its logical moral outgrowth if one is kind even to animals, all the more so he will be kind to his fellow man.
After the flood, Noah was granted greater permission than Adam. The dominion granted to him entitled him to kill any creature to eat its flesh. Noah was, however, forbidden to consume flesh that was removed from certain animals while they were still living. This was an eternal, universal commandment for all of the children of Noah (The Divine Code by Rabbi Moshe Weiner, Ask Noah International, 2011, p 296-297).
Thanks for your comments. I anticipated the first comments would relate to the false contension that Kashrut allows use of only half the animal. Never came up.
