Commentary for Chullin 170:9

הואיל דאמר רבי מאיר שחיטה שאינה ראויה שמה שחיטה תהני ליה שחיטת אמו ולא ליבעי שחיטה קמשמע לן

Now I might have argued, since R'Meir maintains that a slaughtering which does not render [the animal] fit for food is deemed a slaughtering, that the slaughtering of its dam should serve for it too, and it should not require slaughtering; he therefore teaches us [that it is not so].
