  We discuss the applicability of gamma_5-dependent field renormalization as a
means of renormalizing away the apparent violation of Hara's theorem observed
in the quark model. It is pointed out that a result totally analogous to the
violation of Hara's theorem is predicted by the quark model also for neutral
baryons. For neutral baryons, however, such a result cannot be renormalized
away. This proves that gamma_5-dependent renormalization does not provide a
proper way for a hadron-level understanding of the violation of Hara's theorem
observed in the quark model.
