Home Kill

[AGN76]

I've half read enough threads on here to kinda know the answer but - I've just done the school run and 1 of the teachers who is married to a Tunisian wanted to know where she could get a couple of lambs for home slaughter for Eid. I assume she can't?

You can sell him a lamb or two, what happens to them afterwards is the buyer's affair.

If it goes ahead, I wonder if the teacher will tell the schoolkids?

They'd need a CPH to do the movement officially. To be honest though, why would you sell someone a lamb that you knew was going to be killed non-stun, in someones back garden?

 

[AGN76]

I did say she would need a CPH more than likely. Also a movement licence?

P.S I may look stupid, but I'm not stupid enough to own sheep!

Sell them the two you haven’t tagged for cash

Of course, they may choose to butcher them on the farm, where you could supervise if you chose to. You might even learn how little suffering there is if done swiftly and quietly with a sharp knife, likely far less stressful than taking them to a market or abbatoir.

A friend may have done that a few times, and he certainly wouldn’t be concerned about doing it again.

This oddly enough is the UK. I know sometimes it doesn't look like it. Home slaughter, as far as I know is not allowed ffs.

Home slaughter is allowed, but you can't sell the meat, you must consume it yourself.

Home slaughter is legal subject to the animal being slaughtered humanely provided the animal byproducts are disposed of correctly and the meat is only consumed by those living at the ‘home’

Spot on.

 

[serf]

I wouldn't contemplate selling someone live lambs with no holding number or movement licence,
let alone they would see there demise in some tin pot barbaric hatchet job by some random amateur

What if you knew that ‘amateur’ was actually very competent at the job, with no hatchets involved?

But I believe the law may be a bit different if it is a pet. I assume that's to allow you to grieve by the grave side. Not sure on the law if you only bury a percentage of the corpse though and eat the rest.

Some sectors of society don’t leave a lot to dispose of, so my friend tells me. I was fascinated when he told me how ‘they’ prepared each part of the animal for consumption. They’re not all barbarians you know….

You are quite correct and I agree totally. It is always a struggle feeding a lot of dogs so when I saw a cow being delivered to the Lochmaddy abattoir on the Western Isles, I was there first thing to lay claim to the offal. The manager laughed and said, "That's a crofter's cow and the only by-product will be the skin!" (Crofter = small farmer in Scotland). But I believe it is legal to bury pets, just not sure what %age!

I don't think so.

Farmed animals (sheep, cattle, pigs) must be disposed of in an approved method, regardless of pet status.

Horses may be buried as legally they are companion animals not livestock.

I've home killed most of my sheep meat for the past few years.

A bolt gun and sharp knife do the job just fine.

I stand corrected. I am sure you are right now I think about it. I knew one farmer who lived on the coast. An awful lot of sheep and cattle seemed to disappear over the cliff! I had to be licensed with all the rigmarole of inspections when I fed offal direct from the abattoir (still am, actually).

Just wouldn't get involved selling stock into such situations full stop , there's enough bona fide outlets for them to purchase meat ready to eat .

You’re allowed to bury stock where you are anyway @Dry Rot.
