# If a dispute arises between the shochet and others regarding the kashrut of a shechita he did/they witnessed, there is much debate about the kashrut of the meat, depending on the circumstances, such as what the Shochet claims the issues were, if he made any excuses or made any marks on the animal, etc.<ref>Simla Chadasha 1:39-41</ref> | # If a dispute arises between the shochet and others regarding the kashrut of a shechita he did/they witnessed, there is much debate about the kashrut of the meat, depending on the circumstances, such as what the Shochet claims the issues were, if he made any excuses or made any marks on the animal, etc.<ref>Simla Chadasha 1:39-41</ref> | ||

# Shechting an animal with any idolotrous statement or intention is prohibited and renders the meat prohibited from benefit on a Torah level, regardless of whom it belongs to.
