In Canada, the beaver was classified as a fish for Lent purposes.

I wonder if Judaism has weird loopholes in kosher laws? Or Islam halal?

I know it’s for Lent, but only now I realize how ridiculous the classification actually sounds.
How about marine mammals? Or penguin? How far they can go?

I lived in a piece where eating Capibara was kinda common, the meat texture it’s kinda like little pork but their skin also have a fishi oil taste like to catfish I dunno why
No one thinks capybara are fish. The Church just says it’s OK to eat them during Lent because they’re poor people’s food. The real reason for the ban on meat during Lent is that historically meat has been a luxury item, while even the poorest of people could catch fish. It’s not about biology or taxonomy it’s about abstaining from luxuries during a time of penance.
