[The commandment of] covering the blood applies [both] in the Land and outside the Land, when the Temple exists and when the Temple does not exist, to unconsecrated animals but not to consecrated ones. It applies to beast and fowl, whether they are at one’s disposal or not, and it applies to a koy because it is a doubtful case; but we may not slaughter it on Yom Tov, and if one slaughtered it, we may not cover its blood.
