Read this piece of news and was baffled by it. Do cats really kick a fuss whether the food they eat is halal or not? This opens up a new whole line of thought.
So if a cat's owner is Hindu, then halal would mean not eating anything with beef in it. And if we say cats must eat halal food then does it mean that any animals who don't eat halal food cannot be consumed, be it Hindu or Muslim or anyone of any faith with halal (kosher) requirements.That would put chickens out of the picture too as they have a penchant of wondering everywhere and eating stuff from the ground which means they are exposed to impurities which might be haram.... I dunno, but my imagination is working over time.
Then does it also mean that the air we breathe, which is recycled in the sense that it goes into the lungs of the haram or non-kosher animals is also haram? So do we need to filter the air we breathe then? ... or don't breathe at all? Or the water that we drink for that matter? Earth's resources is limited and is recycled. The water that we drink comes mainly from the river and you would not want to imagine what has touched it, drank it and even gone into it; cos you know water dilutes stuff, and all kinds of 'stuff' gets diluted into it.... LOL!
Halal, kosher, haram... when we carry it too far, it can sound and seem absurd.
Cats, after all does not have the ability to profess faith. If anything, I give this guy who came up with the halal food for cat credit for his ingenuity for trying to corner a market for himself! Brilliant! By the way, there's this company in Alor Setar who has tried to make exclusive his photostat services by advertising it as an Islamic Photosating Center. Our politicians play the same game, can't really fault the orang bawahan for doing the same. All the way from up to the bottom, the same hypocrisy is noted.

Random Shots, yours sincerely ( y S) saw a fakwa poster at the Chest Clinic of the old GH declaring smoking as "haram." Y S wonder whether "haram/halal" is a blanket statement or comes with stages and degrees. If is is absolute, then .... Allah knows .....how many muslims are consuming haram smokes in their lungs, equivalent to consuming alcohol or even pork... ...LOL
Well, we are creatures of convenience, aren't we? If it suits us, then it's haram. If not, then it's halal. Better to let each decide.. teach them in the ways of their faith, then they decide for themselves... if haram is okay for them, then tanggung sendiri lah, later in the after-this-life!
AJ 7, the problem is some cannot or are not allowed to decide for themselves. They need others to interpret for them and worst of all they put God's policemen on duty to nab defaulters.
Meow!!!
