202 - UNLOADING A TIRED ANIMAL

According to Maimonides the object of the law prohibiting us to cause pain to an animal is “to make us perfect; that we should not form cruel habits; and that we should not uselessly cause pain to others; that on the contrary, we should be prepared to show pity and mercy to all living creatures, except when necessity demands the contrary: Let me eat meat,' because you long to eat meat, you may eat as much meat as your heart desires. (Deuteronomy 12:20)”*
