# There's a debate if one may lechatechilah allow someone unknowledgable to shecht in front of an expert. Many assume his shechitah is only permitted bediavad.<ref>Simla Chadasha 1:20</ref> | |||
# Despite practicing under the supervision of an expert many times, an unlearned person may not shecht privately, because if he doesn't know the laws of shechitah in the moment that he is shechting, he is likely to make a mistake and not realize. Attempting to reconstruct the situation afterwards does not alleviate the issue.<ref>Simla Chadasha 1:19</ref> | |||
# He may not shecht privately and throw away the kill either, since people may think that anyone can shecht privately or eat his shechita, which will lead to major issues. Instead, if he needs food for his animals, he should either get a proper shochet or kill in a way that demonstrates that they are a nevelah. The former is also not advisable, because the shochet may not be careful and end up producing a nevelah which people will think it actually kosher.<ref>Simla Chadasha 1:21</ref> | |||
# When practicing for a kabbalah, the shochet has credibility regarding whether or not he fainted, paused, or made mistakes. If he fainted, then one may not eat his kill. If he's not present, then we can assume he performed a kosher shechitah.<ref>Simla Chadasha 1:22</ref> | |||
# One who faints easily should not shecht at all; only if he is here and claims he didn't faint may we eat his kill.<ref>Simla Chadasha 1:23</ref> | |||
# Nowadays, shechting without a kabbalah is a red flag regarding the kashrut of the meat.<ref>Simla Chadasha 1:24</ref> | |||
# If one lost his animals and then found them shechted, depending on the circumstances, he may assume that they were shechted properly.<ref>See Simla Chadasha 1:25-27</ref> | |||
