Halakhah for Chullin 33:19
נחירה שלהן זו היא שחיטתן
But according to R'Akiba, wherefore is there no obligation to cover the blood?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Inasmuch as stabbing was the ordinary form of killing an animal practised by the Israelites in the wilderness, and the law for covering the blood was made known to the Israelites also in the wilderness, it is difficult to understand, according to R. Akiba, why there should be exemption from covering the blood when such a mode of slaughtering is adopted nowadays.');"><sup>10</sup></span>
Sefer HaChinukh
And also from this matter is that which they also said, that whether it is an optional war or a commanded, it is permitted for the front line of the army when they enter into the borders of the gentiles, and they are hungry and and they do not have provisions, to eat [their] foods - and even forbidden foods, such as carcasses, and 'torn' [animals] and pigs - and to drink idolatrous wine. And so did they, may their memory be blessed, expound (Chullin 17a), "'And houses filed with everything good' (Deuteronomy 6:11) - even [fatty] pigs' necks were permitted to us." And about this is it stated (Deuteronomy 20:10), "When you approach a city, etc." until the end of the section. [These] and the rest of the details of the commandment are in the second chapter of Sanhedrin and the eighth of Sotah.
