Depends on the interpretation. Some versions say, “…and animals of their kind.” Which would make the capybara a dilemma because it’s a rodent that for the purposes of Lent is considered a fish.
Reminds me of years ago a colleague came to me at work all excited. “You wouldn’t believe the size of the rat we caught!” I took one look and remarked, “That’s a mouse. You haven’t seen a rat yet.”
Leviticus is the Old Law. If you are a Christian, you are not under the Old Law, but the New Law, where we are told all previously unclean animals are cleansed. I’ll still pass on the rats, but pass me the bacon.

Hey, Wiz, you can have the prairie dogs! Just make sure you de-flea them first.

The PETA woman looks like she’s wearing a cheese head from Green Bay, Wisc. The rat will find her delicious.

Econuts ‘think’??? Surely you jest!!
Hopefully the rat will EAT everyone from PETA and all the rest of the econuts that it can find!!

In Joe’s honor:
In Leviticus 11:29, rats are prohibited as food.

Actually, the mouse, not the rat, is mentioned (along with two other things).
(that said, those creatures are given as examples of their genres)

Oop! And I gave up capybara for Lent.

That’s not a rat. That’s a Malaysian mouse deer; they’re mighty tasty, but they’re for officers only.

Well, he sort of looks friendly. But I don’t think I’d want to get on his bad side.

I’m pretty sure there are some sane eco-folks out there, but the PETA morons do the dumbest things and get all the press.
Leave it to our foolish natures to turn perfectly good ideas into utter stupidity.
