Chullin 68a Defining Animal Life – בן פקועה
from Matmonim: Daf Yomi by Rabbi David Lapin · host Rabbi David Lapin
On daf 27b we learned that an animal’s source of vitality is the oxygen it enhales and the food it eats. When it is untethered from that source it is no longer a nefesh chaya even if biologically it continues to function. Shechita is the act of untethering an animal from its source of chayut, vitality.
