Halakhah for Keritot 40:22

as fowl and beast are characterised in that they are subject both to light<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Light uncleanness is identical with food uncleanness, i.e. the foodstuff has no inherent uncleanness but can contract uncleanness from a source of uncleanness, and if of an egg's bulk in quantity, can transmit its uncleanness to other foodstuffs. Weighty uncleanness is that which is inherently unclean, e.g. a carcass, and can transmit uncleanness by carrying.');"><sup>15</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.
