Introduction to Chullin

This masechet, which we will explore for the next 4.5 months, deals with meat-eating.

Who can slaughter, how to slaughter, what invalidates the slaughter, what renders an animal treyf, mixing milk and meat (don't!), parts of the animal you can't eat, parts that belong to the kohanim, and deal animals that impart tumah.
