once upon a time we discussed "eino ra'uy l'acilas kelev"  Do we conduct an
actually lab experiment [with a Labrador perhaps?] in order to confirm this?


The Answer is: NO. It is what Rababnim would deem not fir for a kelev to
eat.

I Imagine that the majority of Jews in Israel can NEVER be verified in an
objective fashion.AISI  It would probably happen Halachically speaking when
Rababnim take it as a matter of fact.
