Scripture tells us to take care of our animals and not cause unnecessary pain.
Proverbs 12:10 – Good people take care of their animals, but even the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel.
Exodus 23:5 – If you see that your enemy’s donkey has fallen because its load is too heavy, do not leave it there. You must help your enemy get the donkey back on its feet.
Proverbs 27:23 – Be sure you know how your sheep are doing, and pay attention to the condition of your cattle.
Deuteronomy 25:4 says that, “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.” In other words, do not let it be hungry when there is food around it. Paul quotes this in 1 Corinthians 9:9 and 1 Timothy 5:18.
