Legal to keep, illegal to slaughter...tips?

[Sonoran Silkies]

The reason you are not allowed to slaughter is that you are allowed to keep them as pets, not as livestock.

Better euthanize them instead then

Gross as it is, is eating a pet illegal there?

Slaughter is not illegal here but I do it from start to finish inside my house incase some of the newbies in the area are sensitive.

What are they going to do? Monitor your flock so you don't dress them out?
Just about the time that you thought you had heard it all...

Maybe they don't want you to keep dogs or cats as "livestock" then slaughter them.

That would be soooooo good. But, I agree that is nuts raise it but don't kill it??? Then what is the purpose of having meat birds or pigs or steers if you can?

Could be to prevent religions from sacrificing animals.

As they would say on Monty Python....and now for something completely different.... what happens if a fox "slaughters a chicken for consumption"? Does the fox need to appear in court? mmm

That is what I thought but they do not normally consume them do they?
