Midrash for Chullin 141:28
מי לא עסקינן דאכל סמוך לשקיעת החמה
Whence do I learn that an unclean object that has been swallowed cannot render unclean? - For it is written: And he that eateth of the carcass of it shall wash his clothes.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lev. XI, 40; the verse adds: And be unclean until the even, i.e., until sunset.');"><sup>17</sup></span>
Sifrei Devarim
(Devarim 14:4) "This is the beast that you may eat: the ox, the lamb of sheep, and the kid of goats, the hart, the gazelle, and the fallow deer" — whence we derive that animals (the last three) are in the category of "beast."
