Something that is without a doubt treif is "chazer treif." If someone takes more than is necessary or polite, that person is acting like a "chazer." "Piggish" eating habits are "chazerish." Just what was accomplished by talking around the fact that pigs/boars were involved in the accident, other than confusion for many reading the report?ProfKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17954446826821665314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-47071937429745872152012-09-23T18:19:47.343+02:002012-09-23T18:19:47.343+02:00I think the reason is more benign.
