Re: Kosher dinos

["Ken Kinman" <kinman@hotmail.com>]

    Not all birds are kosher, so I wouldn't expect all dinosaurs would be 
either.  I believe that all birds of prey are definitely not kosher, so I 
guess a Tyrannosaurus steak wouldn't be kosher either.
    I doubt that vegetarian dinosaurs would be acceptable either, but it 
might for an interesting plot for a future movie----
