Question 1
Who receives lashes when an animal and its offspring are slaughtered on the same day?
Lashes are incurred only for the second slaughter.
Question 2
If a deaf-mute privately slaughters the mother animal, may one then slaughter the offspring the same day?
A deaf-mute's unsupervised slaughter is not considered valid shechita, so the prohibition does not apply.
Question 3
On which four days must a seller notify a buyer about a related animal already sold for slaughter?
These four days are when people are certain to slaughter meat for festive meals.
Question 4
If a male goat mates with a female deer and one slaughters the deer and her offspring on the same day — what is the ruling?
The Torah forbade slaughtering a cow and her offspring, not a deer. Since the mother is a wild animal, there is no Scriptural liability.
Question 5
If one slaughtered the first animal during twilight on Wednesday evening and the second on Thursday — is he liable for lashes?
Twilight is a period of halachic doubt — punishment cannot be administered in doubt.
