Did you forget the bit in the bible where god showed Peter a cloth of animals, including unclean ones, and told him to eat them because he had cleansed them?
Arguably he cleaned the entire species and here's my reasoning behind it.
If you look at the Old Testament's rules, some (or most) make sense in context. For example, don't eat pig, buzzard, or scavengers/filter-feeders in general. Why? Because they eat ANYTHING, including things that have been in shit, piss, and general filth. Eating those animals would mean that you'd have a chance of being harmed. With increasing hygiene that risk is heavily mitigated.

Now someone just has to come along and argue that about the time when God cleansed the animals, hygiene was on the rise which it probably was thanks to Roman engineering.
For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. - Jesus/Yeshua, Matthew 5:18
Living in PEI on the Canadian East Coast. My mother used to tell me how she was one of the poor kids growing up in school, she had to take lobster sandwiches for lunch. All the rich kids got to bring peanut butter. Other than the fact that bringing either of those into a school these days would get you executed, I love the way things have reversed.
