Halakhah for Chullin 141:6
(דברים יד, ד) זאת הבהמה אשר תאכלו שור שה כשבים וגו' איל וצבי ויחמור וגו' הא כיצד
Whence do we infer that cattle are included under the term 'wild animals'? - For it is written: These are the wild animals which ye may eat; among all the cattle that are on the earth, whatsoever parteth the hoof.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lev. XI, 2,3. A literal translation of the verse. The term at the head of the verse signifies the class of animals spoken of, and among that class, forming a section thereof, are mentioned cattle to which these rules apply. Hence it is apparent that cattle are included under the term 'wild animals'.');"><sup>2</sup></span>
Sefer HaChinukh
That we not eat the blood of a [domesticated] beast, a [wild] animal or a bird: That we not eat the blood of a [domesticated] beast, a [wild] animal or a bird (Keritot 20b), as it is stated (Leviticus 3:17), "And any blood you shall not eat.' And it is stated in another place (Leviticus 7:26) - "from a bird or a beast" - and a [wild] animal is included in "beast" (Chullin 71a). And the prevention of blood is repeated in many places in the Torah.
