Commentary for Avodah Zarah 107:10
אמר להו רב נחמן פוקו ואמרו ליה לעולא כבר תרגמה רב הונא לשמעתיך בבבל דאמר רב הונא היתה בהמת חבירו רבוצה בפני עבודת כוכבים כיון ששחט בה סימן אחד אסרה
Nahman said [to the rabbis]: Go, tell Ulla, that R. Huna has already expounded your teaching in Babylonia! For R. Huna said: If the animal of his neighbor was lying in front of an idol, as soon as he cut one of its neck-veins he has rendered it prohibited.
Daf Shevui to Avodah Zarah
Nahman believes that R. Huna has already essentially said that while one cannot cause another person’s property to become prohibited, if he performed an idolatrous act on it, something physical, it is prohibited. The situation he describes is one where an animal is lying down before an idol. If the idolater slaughters the animal for the idol, he has rendered it prohibited.
