May one slaughter a koy (ambiguous animal) on Yom Tov and cover its blood?
Synopsis
One may not slaughter a koy (born from goat and deer) on Yom Tov. If one does slaughter it, blood may not be covered with prepared earth because an observer would assume it is a wild animal and suspect the person is hiding forbidden practices. If its identifying mark is recognizable, blood may be covered. The Rema adds that this applies when slaughtered in a corner, but if in the middle of the courtyard, any animal's blood may be covered if prepared earth exists.
