Homekill Guide
This guide provides a general explanation of the treatment of “homekill and recreational catch” under the Animal Products Act 1999.
Homekill is the slaughtering and butchering of a person’s own animal for their own consumption and use.
Recreational catch is a hunted or harvested wild animal for the hunter’s own consumption or use.
The policy for homekill and recreational catch under the Animal Products Act is essentially the same as it has been for the last 20 years. Many farmers in New Zealand kill and consume their own stock, and many New Zealanders engage in recreational game hunting and fishing. The provision of homekill slaughter and associated processing services to cater for these pastimes are significant rural activities.
