The Mishna (73a) lists ‘shocheit’ (slaughtering) as one of the 39 avos melachos on Shabbos. The Mishna (107a) teaches that one who is chovel or causes a wound in a person or animal has violated a melacha on Shabbos. There are many opinions amongst the rishonim which melacha one who does chovel is liable for. The Rambam (Shabbos 8:7) writes that one who is chovel has violated dosh (threshing), because when a wound is caused, blood is removed from a person’s capillaries, which is similar to the threshing process. In contrast, Tosafos (75a D”H ki) writes that one is liable for shocheit. Tosafos explains that the pasuk states “ki hadam hu hanefesh” that blood is the location of a person’s soul, and one who causes a person to have a wound removes a bit of the soul, which is equivalent to the melacha of shocheit. | The Mishna (73a) lists ‘shocheit’ (slaughtering) as one of the 39 avos melachos on Shabbos.
