Rabbits and Hares.....pass it on to those who doubt God's Word

[Scarlett O.]

[This goes for every topic in the Bible you question, not just hares and rabbits]

In Deuteronomy 14:6-8, God tells the Israelites not to eat certain animals because they are unclean. One of those animals is "hares (rabbits)" because they "chew the cud".

Well, they don't "burp up" and chew the cud like cows as rabbits don't have stomachs with separate parts.

BUT, they do poop, like most animals do and they eat and RE-chew their own feces to get all the nutrients they can as their digestive system requires it.

So, the Bible isn't in error. It's just people don't know what they THINK they know and need to stop before accusing the Bible of error and pray for understanding or Google or ask someone who raises rabbits or SOMETHING before making false claims about God and His Word.

Hope you weren't eating lunch!! HA!

This aroused my curiosity, as one of my dogs engages in coprophagia, which is the eating of actual feces. Some animals, such as rabbits and hares engage in ceceotrophy, which is the eating of a special type of poop called cecotropes. Cecotropes are not the same as their actual feces.

Eating cecotropes is necessary for the health of rabbits and hares.

Coprophagia is not necessary for domesticated dogs, but it is not harmful, either. Although my Skye did eat poop one time and then came in the house and vomited it up on the floor. But that was only harmful to me having to clean it up.

Don't worry Ken. I blame @Scarlett O. for your post.
