It's a Mitzva to slaughter all animals and birds that one wants to eat.
The laws of slaughtering the Kosher way - Shechita - were given to Moshe on Mt. Sinai as part of the Oral Law.
Applies to everybody, everywhere, always.
Verse: "Slaughter your sheep and cattle... as I have commanded you" (Devarim 12:21)
