Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the practice of "Sharitah" of Satan. Ikrimah says: The people in the past used to cut off a small part (of the animal) and then leave the animal as it was until it died; they would not cut its veins. So the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade this practice.
