Is it permitted to remove an entire animal hide in a single operation (plucking by one leg) on Yom Tov?
Synopsis
Removing the entire hide by pulling from a single leg is forbidden on Yom Tov because it constitutes excessive labor (melacha gedola) not needed for the holiday. Different formulations exist about whether the Mechaber permits alternate methods.
