Nope. Not at all, from what I understand. Kosher has nothing to
do w/ it being animal or not. To be kosher the animal must
be killed in the required kosher way, which means that their throat
is slit and they bleed to death. Then, the equipment that
any processing of the animal is done on must never touch dairy.. only
flesh.
