Mesorat%20hashas for Menachot 37:10

אמר רב כל מקום שנאמר תורה וחוקה אינו אלא לעכב קא ס"ד תרתי בעיא כדכתיב (במדבר יט, ב) זאת חוקת התורה

and he shall slaughter; and as the laying of the hands is performed by non-priests so the slaughtering may be performed by non-priests. Then should it not follow, as the laying of the hands must be performed by the owner [of the offering], so the slaughtering, too, shall be performed by the owner! - You cannot say that, as there is an a fortiori argument against it.
