# The meat of an animal slaughtered by a Non-Jew is Nevelah Min HaTorah and categorically prohibited from consumption under all circumstances.<ref>Simla Chadasha 2:1</ref>
# Nevertheless, unless the Non-Jew is a pagan clergyman (a "Min"), one may benefit from the meat or even the hide of his slaughter, unless there would be a major financial loss. If he killed it via different means than shechitah, one can benefit. If they never do regular shechita for food, then that would be an indication of idolatrous intent, though.<ref>Simla Chadasha 2:1</ref>
