If Muslims and Jewish people do not eat animals with cloved feet does that mean you do not eat cows, goats or?
deer as well? If the other animals are allowed, why? If pigs are considered unclean... is it not up to the farmer to keep them clean? Chickens are dirty animals if not kept clean by the owner and they too have been known to eat their own feces if kept in a dirty pen.
I use cottenelle wipes friday moon... They have soap as well as water. Water is not enough to clean yourself... Is that all you would use on your hair and body?
This question was not to insult any ones religious beliefs, it was just out of curiosity since other animals also have cloved feet and I wondered why they were not also banned.

The rule is actually that if a creature has cloven hooves but ruminates (chews the cud), it is kosher. If it has cloven hooves but does not ruminate it is unclean. A cow ruminates, so it is acceptable. A pig does not ruminate, so it is unclean. Any land-crawling animal that chews its cud but does NOT have a cloven hoof (such as a hare) is also unclean and not kosher.
Not saying I agree with it, but them's the rules.

answer: Cows and goats are kosher. It isn't whether the animal is physically clean. Pigs aren't kosher because of several reasons as set in the laws of kashrut (kosher) - they do not chew a cud like a cow and they have no neck, they cannot be killed in a humane/kosher manner.
The laws of Kashrut are NOT about whether food could prepared properly in ancient times or not. It is about being aware of G-d on a daily basis and being different than those around us. By not being able to eat with non-Jews and (for men) looking different than the surrounding pagans of ancient times because of being circumcised, it made it much more difficult to assimilate into pagan cultures.

Goats are animals. Vegans do no longer devour something of animal beginning, so goat cheese is not greater ideal than cow cheese. As for whether or no longer that is uncooked, properly i visit believe the cheesemaker above me whilst he says that is not heated to a severe adequate temp to be considered cooked. i'm no longer a uncooked foodist or a cheesemaker...

I believe that you have the information confused. The regulation is that generally only land animal with cloven feet ARE permitted in Jewish and Muslim dietary laws.
There are also many other procedures to make it acceptably for eating, including the method of slaughtering, blessings., etc.
Muslim dietary laws = Halal
Jewish dietary laws = Kashrut

Pigs eat their own crap, and even their own dead children.
They wallow in crap. Their meat is infested with worms.
They are proven to create mental disieses in humans throught this worm.
They are the ONLY animal fat a human gut cant digest.
They are filthy animals by NATURE...
Considered unclean ?? My my - you have NO idea about being clean...
You may be smart and sassy, but i bet you clean your own crap by wiping a tissue and smearing around, rather than using water...
BUt then you dont know what cleanliness is, so you are excused for the stench you carry around your person.

Pigs are not allowed even for christians
it is stated in the Bible:
"And the pig, though it has a split hoof completely divided, does not chew the cud; it is unclean for you. You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you. (From the NIV Bible, Leviticus 11:7-8)".
