No. If anything, the non-cloven hoof would make it less kosher. (If there was such a thing.)
Kosher animals have cloven hoofs and chew their cud. Pigs don’t chew their cud, mulefoot or not, and the mulefoot hog gets a second strike rather than gaining kosher-points.

Which means a vegetarian pig would be OK. It’s sort of cruel, isn’t it ? There you have this one pig trying to do the right thing, and you go ahead and slit its throat. That’s not conducive to the dawn of porcine ethics, is it ?

What does vegetarianism have to do with anything?
Cud is a portion of food that returns from a ruminant’s stomach in the mouth to be chewed for the second time. More accurately, it is a bolus of semi-degraded food regurgitated from the reticulorumen of a ruminant. Cud is produced during the physical digestive process of rumination, or “chewing the cud”.

The alimentary canal of ruminants, such as cattle, giraffes, goats, sheep, alpacas, and antelope, are unable to produce the enzymes required to break down the cellulose and hemicellulose of plant matter. Accordingly, ...
And although pigs are omnivores, they have a predominantly vegetarian diet.

I was casting incantations trying to spawn The Funny. Obviously that was a bust.

Note that rabbits are considered “cud-chewing” due to their practice of eating their “pellets” (partially-digested food that’s made it all the way through the digestive system), but fail on the cloven-hoof requirement (since they don’t have hooves at all).
And unless Second is on some Pacific island, the Sabbath had already passed when he asked the question.

So the hooved Jackalope is kosher then?

At first I read that as “rabbis”.

As it is Saturday and the Sabbath, do not expect a Jew to answer before sundown. (But nice job keeping with the tradition of asking a technical question about Judaism on their Sabbath).
The timestamp on the OP says it was posted at 12:56 AM today, which is Sunday and therefore not Shabbat.

There are people, like me, who keep kosher but post on Saturdays. However, Saturday was Yom Kippur, which means that pretty much any kosher Jew would not be on the internet.
Or eating anything, mulefoot or not.
Be that as it may, I don’t believe I can “it” anything. But not, a mulefoot hog is not kosher.
Giraffe is, though.

Sorry, yes I meant “eat”, it was 3am and was rushing to get to bed. But thank you all for the replies.
Second:
Can kosher jews…
This may be nitpicking, but my understanding is that Jews themselves are in fact not kosher.
That’s right. You can’t eat them, either.
I think that depends on how they’re seasoned.
Hold on, Jewish people can’t eat bunnies? I did not know that. That sucks.
“Long pig” is just a euphemism.

So rabbit meat isn’t kosher? Huh …
“Kosher Jews Et A Mulefoot Hog” was recorded in 1978 by Kinky Friedman And His Texas Jewboys.
