Reply To: Do I owe my neighbor kosher meat or treif meat?

Really? This is not a case if “hashivaa aveida” that the owner needs to identify his property. Think about it – if I have a mountain of quarters and you drop your quarter into them, do you lose it – because you can’t identify which exact quarter is yours?! We are all in agreement that obe of these quarters is yours, they are all identical, I am required to give you one.

The same here with the pounds if meat. No shaylah that the neighbor must get back a pound of neat. The issue is if it should be kosher meat or treif meat.
