הלכות טריפותUnslaughterable Animals· siman 33

Se’if 1א׳

נִטַּל הַלֶּחִי הַתַּחְתּוֹן, כְּשֵׁרָה, וְהוּא שֶׁיָּכוֹל לִחְיוֹת עַל יְדֵי הַמְרָאָה וְהַלְעָטָה. הַגָּה: וְכֵן עוֹף שֶׁנִּטַּל חַרְטוּמוֹ וְיָכוֹל לִחְיוֹת עַל יְדֵי הַמְרָאָה וְהַלְעָטָה, כָּשֵׁר. (א"ו הָאָרֹךְ כְּלָל נ"ד וְרוֹקֵחַ).

If the lower jaw was removed, it is valid, and this is if [the animal] is able to survive by means of having food stuffed all the way down its throat and having food stuffed partially down its throat. Rema: And so too by a bird whose beak was removed, and it is able to survive by means of having food stuffed all the way down its throat and having food stuffed partially down its throat, it is valid.

Se’if 2ב׳

נִטַּל הַלֶּחִי הָעֶלְיוֹן, לְהַרַמְבַּ"ם טְרֵפָה; וְרָאוּי לָחוּשׁ לִדְבָרָיו.

If the upper jaw was removed, according to the Rambam it invalidates the animal. And it is fitting to be concerned for his words.

Se’if 3ג׳

וֵשֶׁט אוֹ תֻּרְבַּץ הַוֵּשֶׁט שֶׁנִּקַּב לַחֲלָלוֹ, בְּכָל שֶׁהוּא, נְבֵלָה.

The gullet or the entrance to the gullet, that was punctured [until it reached] its [inner] cavity, if [the hole] is any size, it is [considered an] improperly slaughtered animal.

Se’if 4ד׳

שְׁנֵי עוֹרוֹת יֵשׁ לַוֵּשֶׁט, נִקַּב אֶחָד מֵהֶם, כְּשֵׁרָה; נִקְּבוּ שְׁנֵיהֶם, אֲסוּרָה, וַאֲפִלּוּ עָלָה בּוֹ קְרוּם וְנִסְתַּם, וַאֲפִלּוּ נִקְּבוּ זֶה שֶׁלֹּא כְּנֶגֶד זֶה, אֲסוּרָה; וְהוּא שֶׁנִּקְּבוּ שְׁנֵיהֶם מֵרוּחַ אֶחָד, דְּאֶפְשָׁר דְּמִתְרְמֵי אַהֲדָדֵי. (פֵּרוּשׁ שֶׁמִּזְדָּמְנִים לְהִתְכַּוֵּן יַחַד). (בֵּית יוֹסֵף בְּשֵׁם רִיטְבָ"א). הַגָּה: וְכָל זֶה לֹא מַיְרֵי אֶלָּא בְּנִכָּר שֶׁהַנֶּקֶב בָּא מֵחֲמַת חֹלִי, אֲבָל אִם יֵשׁ לָחוּשׁ שֶׁנִּקַּב עַל יְדֵי קוֹץ, אֲפִלּוּ לֹא נִקַּב רַק הַפְּנִימִי, טְרֵפָה, דְּחַיְשִׁינָן שֶׁמָּא נִקַּב גַּם הַחִיצוֹן, וּוֵשֶׁט אֵין לוֹ בְּדִיקָה מִבַּחוּץ. (בֵּית יוֹסֵף בְּשֵׁם תּוֹסָפוֹת וְהָרֹא"שׁ וְר"ן וְעוֹד פּוֹסְקִים).

The gullet has two skins. If one of them is punctured, it is valid. If both of them are punctured, it is forbidden, and even if a membrane formed [on the hole] and closed it up, and even if the holes are not opposite each other, it is forbidden. And that is when the two [holes] punctured from the same side [of the gullet], since then it is possible that they happened together (meaning: that they might align together) (Beit Yosef in the name of the Ritva) Rema: And all this is only dealing with a case where it's apparent that the hole came on account of an illness, but if there is concern that the hole is on account of a thorn, even if only the inner [skin] was punctured, it is an invalid animal since we're worried that maybe also the outer [skin] was punctured, and the gullet can not be checked from the outside.(Beit Yosef in the name of Tosafot, Rosh and Ran

Se’if 5ה׳

עוֹרוֹת אֵלּוּ הַחִיצוֹן אָדֹם, וְהַפְּנִימִי לָבָן, וְאִם נִתְחַלְּפוּ שֶׁהַחִיצוֹן לָבָן וּפְנִימִי אָדֹם, טְרֵפָה. וְכֵן אִם שְׁנֵיהֶם אֲדֻמִּים אוֹ לְבָנִים, טְרֵפָה. הַגָּה: וְכָל שֶׁכֵּן אִם יֵשׁ לוֹ שְׁנֵי וְשָׁטִים אוֹ שְׁנֵי קָנִים, דִּטְרֵפָה. (תְּשׁוּבַת הָרֹא"שׁ כְּלָל כ' סִימָן ט').

These skins, the outer one is red and the inner one is white, and if they switched so that the outer one is white and the inner one is red, the animal is invalid. And so too, if both [skins] are red or white, the animal is invalid. Rema: And all the more so, if there are two gullets or two windpipes that the animal is invalid.
