Lee Gold 2/06/14: According to http://darulfiqh.com/is-it-permissible-to-consume-elephant-meat/
it is forbidden for Moslems to eat "fanged beasts of prey" and an elephant counts as a fanged beast.
"Although an elephant is different from other predatory animals in that it does not prey and live on other animals like other animals. However, due to the fact that an elephant can harm, kill and attack other animals, it has the attributes of natural predatory animals. Thus the jurists gave the elephants the same ruling as natural predators."
--Lee Gold, search engineer
Cattle, goats, sheep, and camels are also capable of attacking, etc. other animals.
thnidu 2/06/14: Well of course they wouldn't! Pachyderms don't have hooves, let alone split hooves, or chew the cud, href=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosher_foods#Clean_and_unclean_animals, both of which are _required_ for an animal to be kosher.
I was sure mammoths wouldn't be kosher-- but having seen some results of "I don't have to look it up, the answer is obvious," I checked anyway.
Has anyone yet written a kosher cookbook for time travelers?

Tuesday February 4, 2014 Would mammoths be halal? Searching on "elephants" and "halal" didn't bring up a definitive answer.
I did confirm that mammoths wouldn't be kosher.
***DFL (Democratic-Farmer-Labor) precinct caucus.
A bit over half the residents of SE Como (my neighborhood) are college age; the University of Minnesota's Minneapolis campus is close by. Last year, most caucus attendees were US-born senior citizens who looked Northern European. This year there were also a number of Somalis.
The incumbent state representative has a Somali challenger this year. Her campaign literature makes a point of her having Somali supporters.
This part of Minneapolis votes left of San Francisco (not left of Berkeley, usually.) The state DFL is farther right -- a bit left of the UK Labour Party, I think.
The caucus was entitled to elect delegates to various upcoming party conventions. I became a delegate to the part of the city convention which will choose school board nominees.
Almost everyone who wanted to be a delegate was elected. The rest became alternates.
There were also party positions to be filled, and fewer candidates than positions open.
Nearby, the Cedar-Riverside precinct caucus was shut down after a fight broke out between supporters of the state representative candidates. Apparently, both groups were made up of Somalis.

seawasp 2/04/14: It may also be "Yes, I think this is a good idea, but if it's not enacted and no one seems likely to, why should I deprive myself and my family of obviously gainful opportunities that are currently perfectly legal and that many argue AREN'T ethically problematic?"

Julieanne Smolinski @BoobsRadley How sad for bathing suit designers that they have never ever seen or touched a breast. I mean, I'm assuming.
