FISH OR FLEsH-A s.. City Is turtle
from the standpoint of food FISH or flesh:
Father Hull, S. j., when asked the
question, said: These animals, though
addicted'to the tub are predomfnantly
land animals. They are Of the cold
blooded class, but they can not live
permanently under water Moreover.
they are born on land, whereas a fish
is born in the water, provided the
water is natural and healthy. Hence,
we gather that they can not be legiti-
mately eaten on F'riday-though we
have not found an author expressly
saying so. The matter is not of much
practical Importance, for so long as
man can get ordinary food he need not
eat turtle. If he is starving, and can
not get anything else, he is exempt. To
constitute fish it seems that cold birth
in water, power of leading a normal
life in water and incapability of living
on the land are required"
