I'm stating an opinion I formed by consulting with an attorney and reading the applicable laws myself. <br /><br />It's legal to kill your own animal, and the location where you do the killing isn't mentioned in the law, so having someone kill their own lamb is legal in all respects. I'm there to help them do it and guide them through it. <br /><br />Food safety is important, so part of what we go over in the class is the gross inspection of the carcass and organs, what to look for, proper handling (chill to 40 degrees within four hours, wash your hands, handle the animal in a way that minimizes contamination if you do pierce the gut,) etc. <br /><br />HAACP is a set of documents that control how meat (and food in general) is handled and produced when it's for resale. It's a valuable way to be formal about looking at your food handling techniques, and required for some types of licensing -- to produce salamis for sale you'd have to come up with a HAACP plan. <br /><br />Where the line is drawn in both state and federal law is resale of the meat to another party.Bruce Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995706761794063165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1842136564899097734.post-32424762827931009882010-08-22T05:47:14.907-07:002010-08-22T05:47:14.907-07:00Where's PETA?
