Каждый [может] убивать, и его бойня действительна, за исключением [таковой] глухонемого, простак или несовершеннолетнего, чтобы они не испортили бойню [то есть совершили ошибку]. Но [если они] все убивают и другие видят их, их бойня действительна. Убой нееврея - это невела и нечистота на руках. [Если] убийца [убивает] ночью и, следовательно, его бойня слепа, его бойня действительна. [Если] убийца [убой] в Шаббат или в Йом Кипур - даже если он несет ответственность за свою душу - его бойня действительна.
Tosefta Chullin
Everyone is permitted to slaughter [an animal for non-consecrated purposes, see Hul. 1:1], even a Samaritan, even an uncircumcised Israelite, and even an Israelite who changes his belief to idolatry (lit., "worship of the stars"). The slaughter by an idolater, behold, that is invalid, and the slaughter by a monkey, behold, that is invalid, as it is said, "And you shall slaughter…and you shall eat” (Deut. 27:7). Not that "the idolater shall slaughter," and not that "the monkey shall slaughter," and not that the slaughter shall be accidental. An Israelite that [commenced the] slaughter, and an idolater finished the slaughter with his own hands, the slaughter is invalid. If he slaughtered two [simanim, the gullet and the windpipe, see Hul. 2:1], or the majority of two, his slaughter is valid. An idolater that [commenced the] slaughter, and an Israelite finished the slaughter with his own hands, the slaughter is valid. If [the idolater commenced the] slaughter with something that does not render [the slaughter] a tereifa (i.e., prohibited from consumption, see Hul. 3:1), and the Israelite came and finished, it is permitted to eat. An Israelite and an idolater that were holding the knife, and they slaughter -- even [if] one was on top and one was on the bottom (Hul. 2:2) -- their slaughter is valid.

Tosefta Chullin
And similarly as to a blind person that knows how to slaughter, his slaughter is valid (Hul. 1:1). A minor that knows how to slaughter, his slaughter is valid (ibid.). We can always slaughter, whether during daytime or nighttime, whether on a boat or on top of a roof. We can slaughter with anything (Hul. 1:2), even with a flint, even with glass, even with the point of a reed. We can slaughter with anything, whether with something connected to the ground, or whether disconnected from the ground, whether, the knife is passed on top of the throat, and whether the throat is passed on top of the knife and slaughtered, [and] his slaughter is valid.
