Homekill
When you buy meat from a supermarket, it has gone through a series of checks to make sure it's fit for human consumption. A professional homekill and recreational catch service provider or a DIYer works under their own hygiene rules, and no independent person inspects their work.
Only animal owners who are actively engaged in the day-to-day maintenance of an animal may hire a listed service provider to kill that animal. You don't become legally eligible to engage or use the services of a homekill and recreational catch service provider until 28 days after you buy an animal.
