Question 1
Which of the following is NOT one of the eight categories of treife transmitted to Moses at Sinai?
The eight categories are: derusah, nekuvah, chaseirah, netulah, pesukah, keru'ah, nefulah, and shevurah. 'Charukah' is not among them.
Question 2
Which predator can cause derusah in a large domesticated animal (e.g., an ox)?
For large cattle and large wild beasts, only a lion can cause derusah.
Question 3
A dog attacks a chicken. What is the halachic ruling?
A dog has no power of derisah whatsoever — not for fowl, not for domesticated animals, and not for wild beasts.
Question 4
What constitutes a 'sign of attack' that renders a slaughtered animal treife?
The sign of derisah is reddened flesh above the intestines. External skin wounds are not the determining factor.
Question 5
A fox enters a henhouse. The fox is silent and the hens are squawking. What do we rule?
When the predator is silent and the fowl are crying out, we suspect an attack occurred and the fowl must be examined.
