Moishe, an observant Jew all his life, final reaches the end of his days. When he approaches the gates of heaven he exclaims to the angels, "I'm starving!! Is there anything to eat around here?"

He is immediately led to a room full of every delicacy imaginable, including appetizers, fish and meat entrees and desserts a la carte. Before he makes his selection, he needs to know that the food is in fact kosher so he asks for some details.

"Who is your supplier?" Moishe inquires.

"The great prophet Moses," comes the reply.

"And who is the shochet?"

"Aharon his brother, the High Priest," the angel answers.

"And the Mashgiach? Who is providing the kosher certification?" he finally asks.

"The Almighty God Himself," comes the response.

After much thought and deliberation, Moishe finally decides, "Um...I think I'll have the fish, please."

If giraffe meat is kosher, then according to G-d's law, 'as He instructed,' might we partake in our meals?

Leviticus 17:13 and Devarim 12:21 give all the Creator’s laws as He instructed to slaughter allowable animals. 

“And if any Israelite or any stranger who resides among them hunts down an animal or a bird that may be eaten, that person shall pour out its blood and cover it with earth. If the place where יהוה has chosen to establish the divine name is too far from you, you may slaughter any of the cattle or sheep that יהוה gives you, as I have instructed you, and you may eat to your heart’s content in your settlements.”

Thanks for your insight.
