Introduction

Hebrew Text

בכל עושין לחיין, ואפילו בדבר שיש בו רוח חיים; רבי יוסי אוסר.
ומטמא משום גולל; ורבי מאיר מטהר.
וכותבין עליו גיטי נשים; רבי יוסי הגלילי פוסל.

English Translation

edit
One can make a lehi out of anything - even out of a living being - rabbi Yosei forbids this.
And it [the lehi made out of a living creature] imparts tumah (impurity) like a gravestone, but rabbi Meir says it is tahor (pure).
It is acceptable to write a bill of divorce [on a living animal]. Rabbi Yosei of the Galil doesn't allow this.
