Home slaughter refers to the process of killing animals for food at home. It can also be referred to as DIY slaughter, backyard butchery, or domestic slaughtering. Such practices have been prevalent for centuries in cultures that prioritize self-sustainability and the consumption of locally raised meat. However, home slaughter also raises concerns about animal welfare, meat quality, and health risks associated with improper handling of meat. Due to these concerns, there has been a push towards more regulated and humane slaughter practices. Nevertheless, in some areas, home slaughter remains a legal and culturally significant activity.
